Meanwhile, Lagos gymnasts scaled the medals table up with a total of 4 medals -1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals in Boy’s Artistic Event.

The Lagos male and female footballers also continue their quest, thrashing the host state, Delta, with 1- 0 and 2 – 0 respectively at the St. Patrick’s College Field, Asaba.

In weightlifting, Team Lagos still maintained their championship to clinch 2 sliver and 1 bronze medal in the 55kg category.

Speaking at the venue of the event, Director General, Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu stated that “the impressive results we are seeing here today is the support of our sports loving Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.
Team Lagos is expected to continue its winning streak in other sports”.

“We are proud of our swimmers, and we know they will represent Nigeria very well and expect more wins in the coming events. We are confident that Team Lagos will make its mark on the games.”

He added that Lagos is always noted for excellence, and it will be a spectacular event for everyone.

This outstanding performance is a testament to the state’s commitment to nurturing young talent and promoting excellence in sports, he noted.
