Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare who broke the African Women’s 100metres record less than two hours ago with a time of 10:86seconds has beaten that record in the final of the ongoing Sainsbury’s Anniversary games in London with a time of 10:79seconds.

Okagbare’s seems to have perfected her style of starting slower but catching up with the others towards the 60 metre mark using the her 1.80m height to the best of her ability.

The Nigerian Sprinter couldn’t contain her joy when she confirmed her victory. In an interview granted after, she gave thanks to God Almighty and said she was glad that her timing was getting better.

Okagbare beat Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, who had the best qualifying time to fourth place behind second placed Babara Pierce of the USA and their placed Kelly Ann Baptiste of Trinidad and Tobabgo.

Other runners were Murielle Ahoure of Cote D’ivore, Kerron Stewart of Jamaica, English Gardner and Carmelita Jeter, both of the USA.
