Binatone hosts Olympic medalist, Ese Brume
It was a moment of joy for Ese Brume one of the two Nigerian athletes who won medals at the Tokyo 2002 Olympics held last year.
Brime won a bronze medal in the women’s long jump event. She was hosted along with her coach, Kayode Yaya by Binatone Nigeria at a brief but impressive ceremony in Lagos on tuesday.
The hosting of the Olympic Games medallist had been delayed owing to the absence of the athlete who had been out of the country on international engagements.
Binatone had earlier hosted another medallist, Blessing Oborodudu a silver medal in women’s wrestling event (free style 68kg) in Lagos on October 28, 2021.
