Glasgow 2026: Enekwechi Wins Shot Put Gold for Nigeria with 21.07m Throw

Chukwuebuka Enekwechi has won Team Nigeria’s eighth gold medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after taking first place in the men’s shot put final. The African record holder threw a season-best 21.07m, narrowly beating New Zealand’s Tom Walsh, who recorded 21.03m for silver. England’s Scott Lincoln claimed bronze with 20.99m. Enekwechi’s victory strengthens Nigeria’s showing in the field events. Attention now turns to the track, where Tobi Amusan targets another Commonwealth title in the women’s 100m hurdles, while Samuel Ogazi, Edidiong Udo and Ella Onojuvwevwo prepare for their 400m finals.
