Paralympic bronze medalist Eniola Bolaji has once again made history by securing gold at the Egypt Para Badminton International 2025 on Sunday.

In a dominant display, Bolaji defeated Sweden’s Hillevi Salomonsson 2-0 (21-1, 21-2) in the women’s SL3 final, cementing her position as one of the sport’s top players.

Throughout the tournament, the African champion showcased her exceptional skill, securing straight-set victories against Shahinda Mohamed (21-7, 21-2), Basma Nabil-Fawzy (21-6, 21-4), and Elizabeth Puma (21-2, 21-4).

The Badminton World Federation revealed that Bolaji has participated in 10 international championships over the past two years, winning all of them—a testament to her unparalleled consistency and dominance in Para Badminton.

Francis Orbih, President of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria, lauded Bolaji’s achievement, emphasizing its significance for Nigerian sports.

“Eniola Bolaji’s gold medal at the Egypt International 2025 is a testament to her unparalleled talent and dedication. As the first and only African medalist in Para Badminton at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, she has once again brought immense pride to Nigeria. Winning 10 consecutive international tournaments is no small feat; she is a national treasure and a global icon,” Orbih stated.

He also reaffirmed the federation’s commitment to hosting world-class events, including the Para Badminton International Championship and the All Africa Para Badminton Championship in Abia State this October.

“The Badminton Federation of Nigeria, in collaboration with Abia State, is determined to deliver a successful Para Badminton International Championship and the All-African Para Badminton Championship. We are fully committed to meeting and exceeding international standards,” Orbih added.
