Ogunkunle said, “I am going to Egypt to confirm my ticket to Paris because I cannot afford to start travelling abroad again to pick my ticket.

"This is the best chance for me, and I know it is not going to be easy because my main challenge remains the Egyptian veteran Mohamed Sameh Eid Saleh who is eyeing a record sixth appearance at the games. I am confident I can beat him to the sole slot in the class four division of the men’s singles."
