A Nigerian cyclist, Ese Lovina Ukpeseraye, has been given a bicycle by Team Germany to compete in an event at the ongoing 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Nigerian cyclist took to social media to express gratitude to the German team for the spirit of sportsmanship.
Ukpeseraye, who was unexpectedly called up to compete in Keirin and Sprint, was not with her bicycle when she was called for the event.
She wrote on X: “Due to the short notice of me competing at the keirin & Sprint, #teamNigeria I had no bicycle to race with on the tracks.
“In d spirit of sportsmanship the German team @bunddeutscherradfahr came to my rescue by offering me a bicycle.
