Eniola Bolaji Storms Into Final of British & Irish Para Badminton International
Joel Ajayi
Paralympic bronze medalist and Nigeria’s para badminton sensation, Eniola Bolaji, has once again shown her class on the international stage, booking her place in the final of the 2025 British & Irish Para Badminton International with a commanding straight-sets victory over Australia’s Celine Vinot (21-4, 21-8) in the SL3 category.
Fresh off a triumphant outing at the Abia Para Badminton Championship, Bolaji continues to dazzle with poise and precision, proving she’s not just riding a wave of form—but creating her own tide of dominance.
After breezing through her round-robin matches, Bolaji powered past Vinot in the semifinals to set up a high-stakes final showdown against world number one, Syakuroh Qonitah of Indonesia—a clash of titans that promises fireworks.
Should she triumph, the Nigerian star will claim her fourth title in 2025, having already conquered the Spanish Para Badminton International I & II and the Egypt International Para Badminton Championship earlier this year.
With each victory, Eniola Bolaji isn’t just winning medals—she’s cementing her legacy as one of Nigeria’s finest para athletes on the global scene.
