Ezekiel Nathaniel has been backed to win a medal in the men’s 400m hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo after he was singled out by Kenyan official upon arrival in Japan.
“As much as I’m wishing my team all the best, all the medals, I also wish Nigerian Nathaniel the 400m hurdles to get a medal, at least a medal, either gold, silver, or bronze for the hard-working Nigerians,” he said.
