NIGERIAN athlete, Blessing Okagbare has said that her main focus in this year’s Olympic Games is to win the 100 meters race.

The 2010 African women's 100 meters champions, who is currently training in California, United State said she is working very hard to attain her desired goal of becoming the world women's 100 meters champions at the 2012 London Olympics.

“I am really working very hard, especially in the 100 metres event and I am working very hard to achieve success at the London 2012 Games. My main target is to win gold in whatever event I compete in, that’s why I am really working hard to do my best and I sincerely hope it works for me”.

“Everything has been okay for me, just that I changed my location but apart from that, nothing different I must confess” she revealed.

Okhagbare is training under the watchful eyes of the best track and field coach in the world, John Smith who also trains Jamaica’s record sprinter, Usain Bolt.

“I must confess that my training programme has not been an easy one as it has been a little hard, everything generally has not been easy, especially considering what you eat, the way you carry yourself, your composure as well as your attitude, it has not been easy trying to imbibe all these but I must tell you that overall, the coach has been good, he has been a good coach,” she said.
