Fourteen year-old Omatshola Otubu again proved his prowess in the pool when he and 26 other children from Ikoyi Club won sixty eight (20 gold; 23 silver; and 25 bronze) medals, to place sixth, at the 38th edition of the International Swimming Contest, which held in Arnsberg, Germany from May 29 to 31, 2009.
Otubu’s impressive display at the 81st J K Randle competition, where, like the renowned Michael Phelps he won every event he participated in by a wide gap, had stunned his opponents.
