Glover receives African triathlon honour
The President of Nigerian Triathlon Union, Dr.
Lanre Glover, has received the highest African triathlon honour.
Glover, a former Vice President of the African
Triathlon Union, was honoured with the ‘Exemplary Contribution to African
Triathlon’ award during the 2016 ATU congress in Cairo for “his immense
contribution to the development of triathlon in Africa.”
Among other contributions, Glover single-handedly
got triathlon into the All Africa Games in Maputo in 2011.
Glover formally voluntarily retired as the ATU’s
VP after serving for several years on the executive of the body.
In his reaction, Glover said he was elated by the
recognition from the President of ATU Ahmed Nasser and his colleagues on the
board.
Glover, a former Vice President of the Nigerian
Olympic Committee, and now a Trustee of the Olympic Committee, is also the
first Vice President of the African Handball Confederation, executive member of
the African Union of Sports Medicine and member, Arbitration Tribunal of the
International Handball Federation.
The award was presented to Glover on behalf of ATU
by the IHF president and IOC member, Marisol Casado.
