Nigerian Athlete, Blessing Okagbare Is 2010 World's Fastest Woman by AloyEmeka5: 11:23pm On Apr 05, 2010 |
Okagbare is 2010 world's fastest woman NIGERIA'S current highest rated athlete, Blessing Okagbare, gave a glimpse of what she would do at the 2010 Commonwealth Games when she began her outdoor campaign with the world's fastest time of 11.10 seconds in the women's 100 metres. Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria competes in the women's long jump athletics final in the National Stadium at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games August 22, 2008. http://odili.net/news/source/2010/apr/5/8.html The timing, her personal best, showed that she is ready to continue from where she left off in the just ended indoor season. Okagbare had last July at the 20th Nigeria/NNPC/ExxonMobil track and field championships set a personal best of 11.16 to outrun defending champion, Damola Osayomi and claim her first national title in any sprint event. The incredible performance gave her a second title in the colours of University of Texas in El Paso at the 83rd Annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays hosted by the University of Texas at Austin. The Nigerian had leapt to a world's best mark of 6.88 metres to claim the long jump title and set a new meet and stadium record in the long jump on Friday. The General Studies major at UTEP also anchored the school's 400 metres relay team comprising two other Nigerians, Gladys Nwaubani and Endurance Abinuwa, to a time of 44.54, which ranks fifth in the national descending order list this year. A week ago, the Beijing Olympics long jump bronze medallist also set a new personal best of 23.30 in the 200 metres to put her in a strong position to take Nigeria back to the winner's podium at the next Commonwealth Games in India. Four years ago, Nigeria failed to win any of the titles in track and field at the Melbourne, Australia Games, with both Olusoji Fasuba and Otonye Iworima winning silver medals in the 100 metres and triple jump respectively. |

Good news for naija but unfortunately she'll soon naturalize as the usual trend is for our athletes. |

Nice, i wish i could run, too bad i ain't a runner, good one for her, i hope she continues to improve herself, she should do it for herself and not for the country because those that did it for the country are no where to be found now. |

11.10 seconds We are still in April and the indoor season is not over yet, by the time the outdoor events is running on all cylinders you would realise that 11.10 seconds is not fast at all it could be fast enough for this years commonwealth games but when you think of the Jamaicans then you think again!!! 1 Like |

11.10 seconds is fast for a female athlete. Losers will always hang around to criticize anything and Nigerians are good at that. Anything besides their own is good. |

Re: Nigerian Athlete, Blessing Okagbare Is 2010 World's Fastest Woman by ajileko: 4:30pm On Aug 23, 2010 |
I think that she's a better long jumper than a sprinter but the 100 meters speed should help her jump further. One good thing about Blessing is that she is very consistent meaning that you could count on her anytime to give 100%. |
