It was an inspiring show even as many will regard it as risky when Aminat Idrees, who is said to be eight months pregnant, won the first gold for Team Lagos at the ongoing National Sports Festival in Edo State.

Idrees, put up a decent performance to win the gold in the Mixed Poomsae category in Taekwondo alongside her male counterpart, Arowora Roqeeb.
