Elegant Table Tennis star, Funke Oshonaike, would lead out Team Nigeria at the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics at the Maracana Stadium on Friday.
The graceful and stylish ping ponger, who would be competing in her sixth Olympics, is also the Assistant Captain of Team Nigeria.
Chelsea star and Captain of the Super Eagles, Mikel Obi, is the Team Capitan.
Obi was also named captain of the Football team, thereby making him a double captain to the Games.
Oshonaike, no doubt, would treasure to be the flag bearer as marching with her fellow athletes in an opening ceremony is considered by many athletes as the pinnacle of their Olympic journey.
Table Tennis, is indeed, honoured with yet another player, Segun Toriola, whose incredible willpower and perseverance sees him as the Nigerian with seven appearances at the Olympics.
The opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics would also see the athlete take the Olympic Oath during the opening ceremony “in the name of all the competitors”.
