Wrestling: Adekuoroye, Oborududu Storm Istanbul for Ranking Series

By Anthony Obaseki on July 10, 2019

Reigning Commonwealth champions Odunayo Adekuoroye and Blessing Oborududu on Tuesday night departed Nigeria for Istanbul, Turkey, ahead of the prestigious Yasar Dogu Ranking Series event which runs from July 11 to 14, 2019.

The pair, who recently retained their respective national titles at the 3rd Gov. Dickson Wrestling Classics in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, will be guided by experienced women’s head coach, Purity Akuh.

The four-day tournament will have in attendance over 150 female wrestlers from 20 countries around the globe, who will be vying for crucial ranking points ahead of the 2019 World Championships in Kazakhstan in September.

Adekuoroye, a world silver-medallist in 2017, will be competing in the 57kg weight class, while nine-time African champion Blessing Oborududu will battle for ranking points in her usual 68kg category at the tournament.

Nigeria’s Aminat Adenyi (62kg), a two-time Commonwealth champion herself, who is also listed for the Yasar Dogu, event will miss the trip due to visa issues.
