Flora Ugwunwa Smashes World Record, Wins Javelin Gold At Rio Paralympics by nedufantasy(m): 7:35am On Sep 14, 2016 |
Nigeria’s Flora Ugwunwa inspired a 1-2-3 for the African continent in the women’s F54 Javelin throw on Day 6 of the ongoing Rio 2016 Paralympic Games in Brazil. The 32-year old was in a class of her own, erasing Tunisian Hania Aidi’s World Record (WR) of 18.86m set at the IPC World Championships in Doha last year. Ugwunwa threw almost 2m, throwing an impressive 20.25m in her third attempt to also shatter Liwan Yang’s Paralympic Record (PR) of 17.89m set at the London Games four years ago. Ugwunwa was a GOLD medallist at the 2015 African Games in Congo Brazzaville, and her feat in Rio earned Nigeria its second medal in Track and Field, following Laurrita Onye’s GOLD medal run in the women’s Shot put on Sunday. Her win takes Nigeria’s tally of GOLD medals to seven, and is the country’s tenth medal overall at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
