RESIDENTS of an Oxfordshire village can now claim they live next door to an Olympic medalist.
British Army Warrant Officer Musa Audu won a bronze medal for Nigeria at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens in the 4x400 metre relay.
The 39-year-old also competed in three Commonwealth Games and two World Championships.

Now Mr Audu, who served in the Royal Logistic Corps for 17 years, has moved into a new housing estate in Grove, near Wantage, with his wife Blessing and their two children Faith and Gedion.
The Olympian used the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme to afford his four-bedroom home part of a new development on Station Road.
He said: "There is a Tesco nearby and town is just two miles away, there are also good transport links with a bus every 30 minutes."
