Toriola qualifies for 7th Olympics

Nigeria’s Segun Toriola has shot himself into the record books by becoming the first African to play in seven Olympic Games in any sport by picking a ticket to represent Nigeria at this year’s Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil.
This uncommon record has also catapulted Toriola to the exclusive “7 Club” , the elite group of players who have played at seven Olympic Games.
 Toriola beat Mawussi AG BETOGLO (TOG) 11-7, 12-10, 11-9, 11-6, in Khartoum, Sudan, to join table tennis legends Jean-Michel SAIVE (BEL), Jorgen PERSSON (SWE) & Zoran PRIMORAC (CRO) in an elite group of players who have played at seven Olympic Games.
