Nigeria’s Queen of the track, Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor was beaten to 1st position by fierce rival, USA’s Tori Bowie, in her first 200m race of the season at the New York Diamond League on Saturday.

Bowie was the undisputed winner in the women’s 200m as she exploded from the blocks and maintained her lead, clocking a Season’s Best (SB ) of 22.23s, which equals the Nigerian’s Personal Best (PB) set in Eugene last year. It was also an improvement from the 22.29s Bowie posted at the Jamaican Invitational in May.
