Blessing Okagbare is attempting to race, once again, into the record books today, Monday as she lines up for first the 100m semi-final and later the final at the IAAF World Athletics Championships.

Okagbare is undoubtedly the greatest sprinter Nigeria has ever had and Completesportsnigeria.com’s DARE ESAN, who is in Beijing covering the IAAF World Athletics Championships, brings you five facts you need to know about her before the races and five records she could add to her already very storied career.



1.Okagbare is the first and so far Nigerian nay African sprinter to break 10.80 seconds in the 100m courtsey her African record run in London in 2013.

2. Okagbare is the first and so far only Nigerian, man or woman, to win two individual medals at the IAAF World Championships......MORE

5 RECORDS OKAGBARE COULD SET OR BREAK IF SHE WINS A MEDAL IN 100M



1.Okagbare can make history as the first Nigerian athlete to win Olympic and World Championship medal if she makes it to the podium in Beijjng. Seven years ago she won a long jump bronze here at the same Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing.

2. Okagbare will become the first Nigerian, man or woman, and indeed the first African to win a 100m medal at the IAAF Worlds if she nicks one here in Beijing......MORE

Article filled with bogus data. Ahoure has won a World championship 100m medal before. Also, Uchenna Emedolu has won 100m Silver.
Anyways, today, Blessing came LAST in the 100m. Poor start cost her.
