Nigeria born sprinter Blessing Okagbare has claim
a gold medal in this evening’s 100m final at the
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, archiving a
new Games record with her time of 10.85
seconds.
Okagbare’s fast start to the race was a key factor
in her winning the race, managing to hold off a
late surge by Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell-
Brown to claim Team Nigeria’s second gold
medal at the games.
After the race, the 25-year old stated ”I am so
happy and excited right now. A new season’s
best and win. I
stayed patient always like my coach said I should
and after 70 metres it just felt easy.” Okagbare is
now favourite to win the 200m race coming up
later, while she will also compete in the long jump
event.
