Omotayo Olajide’s Olympic Journey Ends Early

Two-time Olympian Omotayo Olajide suffered a disappointing early exit from the men’s singles table tennis competition at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Nigerian player was defeated by Iran’s Noshad Alamiyan in the round of 64, with a final score of 1-4.   

Olajide showed promise by winning the opening set, but Alamiyan quickly turned the tide, dominating the next three sets. Despite a valiant effort in the fourth set, Olajide was unable to prevent Alamiyan from sealing the victory.   

This marks another early exit for Olajide, who also failed to progress beyond the initial rounds at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
