Okagbare Bows To Pressure by peterd53(m): 11:43am On Sep 11, 2015 |
Nigeria sprint sensation Blessing Okagbare has
finally bowed to pressure to represent the country at
the Brazzaville 2015 All Africa Games in Congo.
The athletics events of the Games begin on Sunday
and the national squad departed Abuja for the East
African country on Thursday.
Nigerian athletics was plunged into a major
controversy on Wednesday after the Athletic
Federation of Nigeria denied the reports that the
National Sport Commission had banned the multi-
talented United States-based runner from the Rio
2016 Olympics.
The reports claimed the NSC had decided to omit
the Commonwealth Games women’s 100m record
holder from the Rio 2016 national athletics squad
after the 26-year-old opted out of the 200m event
of the IAAF World Athletics Championships in
Beijing, China last month – and the All Africa
Games.
England-based Tosin Oke, who had earlier
withdrawn from Brazzaville 2015, also expected to
compete at the Games. |
