Chierika Ukogu qualified for the semi-final of the women’s single sculls rowing event in Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Ukogu finished fifth in Quarterfinal 3 and although she was initially ruled to have been knocked out, the Nigerian was called back.

Ukogu, 24, is the first Nigerian to represent the country in Rowing and she is very keen to go all the away in Rio.
