Commonwealth Games 2026: Roland Ezuruike Wins Nigeriaâs First Medal
Nigeria’s Roland Ezuruike has secured Team Nigeria’s first medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games after claiming silver in the men’s Lightweight Group A Para Powerlifting event.
The experienced para powerlifter produced a strong display throughout the competition and came close to winning the gold medal.
Ezuruike successfully completed his opening lifts but narrowly missed out on the top prize after failing in his final attempt to set a new Commonwealth Games record with a 190kg lift.
He finished the event with a total of 153.9 points from two successful lifts, earning the silver medal and giving Nigeria its first podium finish of the Games.
The medal provides an early boost for Team Nigeria as the country’s athletes continue their campaign for honours across multiple events at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
