“The most appearance in Diamond League meetings by an athlete is 67 and was achieved by Blessing Okagbare (Nigeria) between 30 July 2010 to 31 August 2018.”

Okagbare, 32, won silver medal at the 2018 Beijing Olympics.

She also won silver and bronze in the long jump and 200 metre events respectively at the 2013 World Championships held in Moscow, Russia.

The athlete had a brilliant outing at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow where she won two gold medals and a silver.

Congrats Blessing. For so long, you've filled the void created when Mary Onyali left. Now you've gone a bit further to create records.

She really deserves it...

Hanty Zsor Come And See Something!

Well deserved.

See fine girl

Congrats to her,, when you are healthy,there is nothing you won't be able to achieve,that is why I always tell my Nairaland family to always stay and eat healthy.my friends usually ask me why girls call me 10rounds,i always smile and tell them the name explains itself. I always exercise and eat healthy.. And most importantly I take Somtee's soyabean drink immediately after my workout. It is so rich in nutrients and minerals. You can check my signature if you want one. I deliver anywhere in Nigeria just for shikena money. By the way anybody that knows that girl should tell her to come to me lemme give her a reward suitable for this feat in da other room.

Congrats to her
