Timeline
Segun Moses Toriola (born 18 September 1974 in Ilorin, Kwara, Nigeria) is a retired Nigeria professional table tennis player.
He is the youngest of nine brothers.
He has been amongst the top table tennis players in Africa since the mid-1990s.
Since 1995, he has been ranked as the best Nigerian player.
Ranked number 1 in Africa from 1998 to June 2008, when Egyptian Eli Saleh Ahmed became the leading African table tennis player.
His biggest achievement at the Olympics has been reaching the Men's Singles 1/16 final at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, beating amongst others former world number 1 Jean-Michel Saive as well as David Zhuang.
His 1/32 match-up with Jean-Michel Saive was seen by many as one of the highlights of the Men's Singles Tournament.
He narrowly lost 4–3 to heavily favoured Oh Sang-eun in the 1/16 final.
His fifth Olympic appearance in 2008 made him the first Nigerian man to appear at five Olympics.
This feat was achieved four years earlier by sprinter Mary Onyali and also in 2008 by fellow table tennis player Bose Kaffo.
By the end of the 2008 Summer Olympics, only thirteen table tennis players worldwide had appeared at least five Olympics.
However, since 2009, Toriola has again been the number 1 in Africa.
Renowned for his unusual style of forehand play, which makes him an awkward opponent for many.
Despite lacking good footwork has an excellent topspin, which has allowed him to pull off many upsets with top world players.
During his career, he has won multiple medals in international singles tournaments.
Some of his important achievements are:
He represented Nigeria at seven Summer Olympics debuting at Barcelona.
With his participation in 2012 Olympics in London he became the only Nigerian athlete to appear at six Olympics.
He therefore joined João N'Tyamba of Angola and Maria Mutola of Mozambique as only third ever African athlete to compete in so many Summer Olympics.
Toriola competed in the 2018 IITF African-Cup, placing first in group 4, allowing him to qualify for the Quarter Finals.
In the Quarter Finals, Toriola faced and was defeated by Congolese player Saheed Idowu (2-4) resulting in Toriola's elimination.
In the placement rounds, Toriola defeated both Thameur Mamia (3-2) and Sami Kheroff (3-1) to finish the tournament at 5th place.
