Chukwuebuka Enekwechi
Nigeria’s Chukwuebuka Enekwechi on Thursday failed to impress in the final of the men’s shot put event at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The 28-year-old who threw 21.28 metres to win the 2019 African Games gold in Rabat could only record a throw of 19.74 to place last on Thursday in the 12-man field.
Ryan Crouser of the U.S set a new Olympic record in the event with a throw of 23.30.

His compatriot, Joe Kovacs, won the silver medal with 22.65 while Tomas Walsh of New Zealand won the bronze with a season-best 22.47.
