A Nigerian road and track cyclist, Eze Ukpesereye has revealed that she borrowed a bike to compete at the Keirin Sprint event in the ongoing 2024 Olympics in Paris, France.

The athlete made this known on Thursday via her post on X, revealing that the German team offered her a bike to compete in the global tournament.

She wrote: “Due to the short notice of me competing at the Keirin & Sprint, #teamNigeria I had no bicycle to race with on the tracks. In d spirit of sportsmanship the German team @bunddeutscherradfahr came to my rescue by offering me a bicycle.”

Many Nigerian netizens had claimed that Eze’s situation is one of the many reasons the country is yet to have a single medal to its name in the ongoing global event.
