Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri has been knocked out of the table tennis event in Rio.
Quadri, who made history as the first ever African to reach the quarter final stage of the table tennis event lost to World number one Chinese Ma Long, 0-4.
It was always going to be a difficult tie for the Nigerian as Long wasted no time in showing his superiority winning the first two games 11-2, 11-4.
As hard as Quadri tried to get back into the game Long’s technical ability was clearly ahead as he won the remaining two games 11-6, 11-7.
