Chierika Ukogu's dreams of winning an Olympic medal has ended after the
US-based Nigerian came fifth in the quarter-finals of the boat rowing
event at the Rio 2016. Despite historically qualifying for the semi
finals of the competition, she won't be competing for medals at the
event.
23-year-old Ukogu, who put her medical school on hold to represent Nigeria in Rio came 5th in her group in the quarterfinals and qualified for the semi-finals C/D as against A/B which are the medal contention rounds.
The C/D rounds are just for ranking and she'll be competing just for ranking with three other quarter finalists. Go girl, we are still proud of you!
