Uzuegbuna Okagbue has received in visit, Stephanie Onusiriuka, Anambra born eleven years old multiple gold medalist. This visit was upon her return from South Africa, following her successful outing at the Africa Gymnastics Clubs Championship, last weekend. 

Stephanie, who paid a courtesy call to Uzuegbuna Okagbue in Abuja, the nation’s capital in company of her mother, Mrs. Amaka Onusiriuka, first met Uzuegbuna Okagbue during her outing in 2021 National Gymnastics which held in Edo State, where she won five medals.

Since then, Okagbue who took a special interest in her excellent sporting potentials, has maintained a cordial and supportive role to Stephanie’s exciting career in sports at such a young age.

Owing to her successful outing in Pretoria, South Africa, over the last weekend, Stephanie would have proceeded to Tokyo for the Tokyo Olympics. However, her age was a factor, as athletes must not be less than fifteen years to participate in the Tokyo Olympics.

During the visit to Uzuegbuna Okagbue, who assured of his continued support to her career, while also giving a gift for her latest successful outing, Stephanie and her mother Amaka, expressed their utmost gratitude to Okagbue for his assistance and encouragement. Both Stephanie and her mother also spoke confidently on what the future holds for the eleven-year old Anambra gymnastics champion, who has followed the path of excellence in all her outings since last year.
