matify: Good for her but i hope she doesn't burn out when she needs to repeat same feat at the olympics for 9ja. That timing should be an African record i guess? At all. I watched the semi finals and she came second behind Jeter and she ran sub 11 seconds, 10.99 I think. it was infact her personal best (PB) and she let out a loud shriek when she found out. I didnt watch the final and I am suprised she was faster than the Jamaican and American, there was another Nigerian in the semi final but she was representing Norway though. I no blame am. |

Congrats Blessing. For me winning d finals was good but she also set a new personal best of 10.99sec in d heats to put her in the ranks of Chioma Ajunwa, Gloria Alozie and oludamola osayomi who have broken 10sec its a good thing even considering the opposition she had. I hope she can run faster at the olympics . Am prayin 4 u Blessing God b with u. |

Great one blessing happy bout her doin sub 11 second as per funding I know nike and first bank are backing her so hopefully finances won't b a hindrance. Like someone mentioned hope she doesn't suffer frm burnout @ the main event(olympics). Can she win a medal? Well let her get to the final first frm there anythings possible. Let's just do our own part by supporting and encouraging her. Plus prayers |

For the first time Okagbare ran under 11 sec, this was in the preliminaries. In the finals she won in a slower time ( 11.13 sec) and because Jamaican, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce stumbled out of the blocks. At the Olympics, Okagbare will have to qualify through the heats, which are debilitating and beat medal favourites, Shelly-Ann Fraser , Carmelita Jeter and the Ivory Coast girl. Okagbare has a lot of talent and her height is an advantage, she would need to run under 11 sec again and believe in herself to stand a chance of winning or placing in the medals. |

Okagbare has a lot of talent and her height is an advantage, she would need to run under 11 sec again and believe in herself to stand a chance of winning or placing in the medals. 11.01 NOT 11.13 secs... Considering she made the finals at the world championships in Daegu, it is likely she will make it through the rounds at the olympics. Nonetheless, anything can happen at the olympics. She's run 10.9s before but with trailing winds. buffny: good for her. she has improved a lot. she used to suck real bad just a few months ago. err, she didn't suck. She's been running the 200m AND improving her endurance so her start was not as sharp, hence the very recent 100m times of high 11.2s/low 11.1s and the upset at the African Championships. |

cap28: And how does this affect the price of your mother's and other female relative's punny in the market ehn Ewu Ara? cap28: Look product of an incestial relationship chatting poppycocks. The Asylum is where your Ilks truly belong. Your father would have done well if he was a quarter as handsome as my toenail. Now run along Lil Muppet and stop blaming the whiteman for all of your life's failures. I know the truth hurts but hey it has to be said. Now read my lips, Your BLACK PARENTS are to be blamed for the wretched existence. |
