Annette Echikunwoke, a hammer thrower originally set to represent Nigeria, has become an Olympic medalist for the United States.
After being disqualified from the 2020 Tokyo Games due to a Nigerian Athletics Federation error, she changed her allegiance to the U.S. and went on to win silver in the women’s hammer throw at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Echikunwoke’s perseverance paid off, turning past disappointment into Olympic success.
