Though, I am happy for her and the timing of 10.96secs but my fears is that she is running so fast now and most likely burning herself out ahead of the main event at the Olympics. I hope she learns from the experience of the Ezinwa brothers, Olapade Adenikan,Mary Onyali,et al. She is definitely in the contention for a medal in the Olympics 100m but she has to be quite strategic.I hope her coach does some extras to her winning a medal. The Olympics is a different ball game because so many factors would play out. I am optimistic that she would be in the 100m finals baring injury. She remains our medal hopeful and I am tipping her for either the silver medal or bronze. The gold would be won by the best athlete which could be Okagbare as well or an athlete from America or Jamaica. 6 Likes |

NO WIND (0.0 m/s), slow start, and personal best. Okagbare is definitely a contender 4 d title. Although six of her main rivals were not in d race today,d race still had some top quality athletes on parade. |

@Nedostic, you are right. I remember how Chidi Imoh used to routinely defeat Linford Christie at many of the pre-Olympic Meets only to burn himself out by the time of the real thing. I hope Blessing realises this. Wish her all the best. |

I hope she learns from the experience of the Ezinwa brothers, Olapade Adenikan,Mary Onyali,et al.sport is not like that.. she has picked for now and considering the time gap between now and London2012 she has to be at her best to get a medal. There are no two ways. those losing form should just work harder. If they think they are reserving some kind of energy for the olympic, its a white lie. 2 Likes |

polokor60: she has the height and framework just like usain bolt,she reminds me of the disgraced marion jones who happens to be my favourite female sprinter.blare blare one day i know say you go make us prooooud!! Ha ! Guy you good mehn ! You have eyes for details and for the first time in life on NL have seen someone think the way I see things ! Blessing when you watch her analytically runs like a Marion Jones prototype and a figure and strength that would remind you of Usain Bolt. Guy your analysis absolutely on point,that is an exact copy of what I see when she runs. Blessing will not disappoint and our Govts must encourage all the athletes in London either they win or not,its a deserved honors being at the Olympics . |

Good God,thats was very brilliant,cant remember the last time a Nigerian woman or even an African ran sub 11 secs.Mary Onyali did it,i think Mercy Nku also..hope she saves the best for last..i wonder what happened to our best female sprinter..Darumi Osayomi,i think her problem is drug related..her presence wld,ve given nig some hope in the 4 by 100m relay. |
