Nigerian tennis couple looks Paralympic gold
Nigerian para table tennis couple Christiana and Kayode Alabi, who are preparing to compete in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, are optimistic about their chances of winning gold at the Summer Games to be held from August 28 to September 8. PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
In September 2023, they won their respective events at the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) African Para Championships in Giza, Egypt, which also served as a qualifying opportunity for the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
Having had plenty of time to prepare for the Games, the Alabis say they don't just want to make up the numbers in Paris.
“I believe that if we both want to be No. 1 in our country and No. 1 in Africa, we can also be No. 1 in the world,” Kayode said via the International Paralympic Committee website.
So we don't just go there to participate, we go there for a mission that we want to achieve. We want to get the gold.
Kayode and Christiana met in 2017 during the national trials in Lagos and tied the knot in November 2022.
Since then, the inseparable pair have trained together and helped each other grow as they now set their sights on Paris.
In 2021, Christiana won a bronze medal at the French Open, on her first trip outside Africa.
He taught me everything about table tennis, how to serve, how to stand in the right position – everything, she said.
We watch a lot of videos at home. We normally set up the camera ourselves during our training, so when we get home we look at it and go through it to see where we made mistakes so we can correct them the next day, Kayode said.
Every day when we go home we see ourselves and other people playing, as well as players we have played with before.
The IPC also described the couple on its website as role models for athletes around the world.
