Nigeria’s Anuoluwapo Opeyori is out of the men’s Olympic Badminton event after falling 0-2 to the world’s number six, Li Shifeng of China.
The 17-21, 17-21 defeat was Opeyori’s second loss in the Group N of the men’s singles event.
The loss also ended his hopes of progression to the knockout phase.
Thursday’s loss by the Nigerian followed Wednesday’s defeat to Tobias Kuenzi of Switzerland at Le Chapelle Arena.
Badminton followers, however, expect the two-time Olympian and Team Nigeria’s General Captain to bounce back stronger in future events, having taken valuable lessons from his Paris outing.
