Another Nigerian has made history by running the third fastest time in the world to win the 400m World title for Bahrain.

In what has been described as the biggest upset of the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Salwa Eid Naser defeated the race favourite Shaunae Miller-Uibo with her 48.14 seconds record to win the race.

Miller-Uibo took silver with a time of 48.37sec -- the sixth fastest of all time -- whilst Olympic bronze medallist Shericka Jackson of Jamaica was third (49.47).

Salwa sealed her spot in history behind East Germany's world record holder Marita Koch and Jarmila Kratochvilova of former Czechoslovakia who got their spot in the race over 30 years ago.

"I'm the first one to win a global medal for Bahrain -? it is really rewarding and I'm so happy," she said.

"I still can't believe the time. The time is so crazy, crossing the line and seeing the time I went completely crazy.

"Yes I was training so hard but I never expected to run this fast."

On defeating Bahamas' Shaunae Miller-Uibo to win the title, Salwa said;

"I think she (Shaunae) is an amazing athlete," she said. "I don't think I would have done that alone of course.

"She'd been there to push me and is very competitive. I love her energy and already said thank you to her because without her I don't think I would have gone so fast.

"So I'm happy this race happened."

The Jamaicans and Americans will not like this. Jamaicans only excel in sprints and in no other sport. Nigerian female runners are breaking world record and it's only a matter of time before we completely dominate the sport.

actually she's from my town, onitsha ado to be precise. and I don't think you know her very well. changing her name to fit in isn't a crime you know. she has to do what she has to do to have a better life. and she's doing it good.

Be there answering Okonkwo Tobias training at the dilapidated Surulere stadium and tell me where your papa name has taken you in this country, now we all are reading about her.
Very soon many footballers in Super Eagles will start changing from Mikel Obi to Mikaila Ibn Abdul if NFF starts behaving like Nigeria Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
Nigeria is stifling the zeal of youths especially in the South with quota system and lack of recognition for their efforts

Nigerian's aren't second fidle anywhere anytime

That's good

our inferiority complex in this country is just too much, we keep looking for anyone with the tiniest Nigerian root to achieve something we can use to massage our ego a bit all the time. Ask yourselves why didn't he/she represent Nigeria,..A failed state that cant support anything good
