Lagos – Oluwatosin Adeloye, a 400m gold medallist at the 12th Africa Junior Championships says her target is to win medals at the upcoming All Africa Games (AAG).

The Games are scheduled to hold from Sept. 4 to Sept. 19 in Congo, Brazzaville.

Adeloye said in Lagos that she would do her best to qualify for the continental showpiece.

“I really want to make the AAG team. I will intensify my training, particularly work more on my speed,” she said.

On her target at the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) Grand Prix, she said that she hoped to be among the top finishers.

“I will try my best to aim at the top three positions, I do not want to predict winning a gold medal because I do not know who I will be competing against,’’ she said.

Adeloye commended the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) for giving her exposure in spite of the political activities in the country.

“We had competitions in spite of the charged atmosphere as a result of political situation occasioned by the last general elections as the AFN went ahead to stage events,’’ she said. (NAN)
