Nigeria, July 28 -- Team Nigeria faces one of its busiest days at the 2026 Commonwealth Games on Tuesday as athletes compete across athletics, weightlifting, swimming, boxing and wheelchair basketball in Glasgow.

The Nigerian team heads into Day Five on a high after winning 10 medals-six gold and four silver-to occupy fourth place on the medals table behind Australia, England and Canada, while remaining the highest-ranked African nation.

Much of Nigeria's success has come from para powerlifting and weightlifting. Esther Nworgu, Folashade Oluwafemiayo, Riluwan Idris, Edidiong Umoafia, Onome Didih and Rafiatu Lawal have all won gold medals, while Roland Ezuruike, Esther Oyema, Rita Ferdinand and Ruth Asuquo Nyong claimed silver.
