Just bear in mind that the world leading time is 10:77 not by Blessing so please tone down on the hype! I wish her well but like so many athlete before and after major events, but when it matters under pressure they crumble!!!

Team Nigeria!

In preparation for the World Champs starting in just over a week, check out this video celebrating Blessing Okagbare's feat of breaking the 100m African Record twice within 2 hours on Saturday! You'll see from the video that it's been a very long time coming - and the video also pays homage to former African Track & Field Queens, Glory Alozie (the former official holder of the record at 10.90) and Chioma Ajunwa (who ran a time of 10.84 back in Lagos in 1992 that was never ratified as the record for one reason or another...)

It's fair to say that Blessing is now the undisputed African 100m Record Holder - bring on the world!

For my analysis of her chances at the World Championships in Moscow, check out my blog here: http://makingofchampions.net/2013/08/01/blessings-triple-threat-for-the-world-championships/

Basically, Blessing can get 3 GOLDs (100m, 200m, and Long Jump) and a Bronze (in 4x100m)- that's why my heart wants for her and Nigeria, but Shelly-Ann Fraser, Allyson Felix and Brittany Reese will be the 3 girls the world will be tipping to win her events, so Blessing should at least get Silver in each on current form! I'll tip her to upset Alyson Felix in the 200m at the World Champs. One thing's for certain - she'll get Mary Onyali's African Record of 22.07 in 2 week's time for some colour of medal. She may also get Chioma Ajunwa's Long Jump African Record of 7.12m. You heard it here first! wink

I'd be hugely surprised if she did all of these events. I mean she's human(okay, superhuman to a degree cheesy). I know Allyson Felix's feat at the olympic games last year is similar, but...
100m and Long Jump, likely, 200m as well, unlikely, though she has been picked for all three by the AFN.

Nonetheless, we'll see in a few weeks, makes it all exciting smiley

Actually, I think it is almost a certainty she will do all 3 - the 200m doesn't start till Thurs Aug 15th, whereas the Long Jump ends on the Sunday (Aug 11th) and the 100m ends on Monday (Aug 12th)...as such it would be illogical not to try the 200m, when she can realistically win a medal there too, once the other two events are over.

The real question is whether the Long Jump final the day before the 100m semis and final would affect her performance in the 100m? Will she be able to recover on time to put up her best performance in the 100m? Only time will tell...we'll know in about 10 days!
