From Jos To Kenya: Plateau State Cyclist, Ringnan Rejoice Gets Invitation As She Prepares For Youth Olympics In Dakar
An 18 years old, Ringnan Rejoice, from Plateau State has been invited by a joint partnership of the Confederation of African Cycling (CAC), International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Union Cycliste International (UCI), to participate in the CAC Road African Championship training camp in Kenya, from the 1st – 25th October, 2026.
The training camp is in preparation for the Road Cycling Competition at the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympics. The training is further expected to ensure a high performance level for African Riders at both continental and Olympic levels.
Recall that, Rejoice had in May this year, won the Gold medal in Team Pursuit, during the African Track Cycling Championship held in Abuja, the feat that earned her the invitation and she is the only female to represent Nigeria in Kenya.
Before her departure, Rejoice received support from the Plateau State Director of Sports, Prof Ezra Gunen, who provided funds to facilitate her local running and more support from Coach Bash, the Federation Technical Director, who helped with logistics and a new Cycling bike to aid her participation at the training camp.
Rejoice has since departed for Kenya.
