It’s mission accomplished, says Okowa
For the first time since it started participating in the World Athletics U-20 Championships, Nigeria is returning home with four gold and three bronze medals.
Team Nigeria captured one gold and one bronze medal on the last day of competition yesterday. The gold came from the women’s 4x400m relay team featuring Oke Opeyemi, Ella Onojuvwevwo, Nigeria’s star of the championship, Imaobong Nse Uko and Favour Ofili. Their 3:31.46 seconds finish was enough to get Nigeria the gold medal.
In the women’s 4x100m relay, Nigeria settled for the bronze medal. Praise Ofoku started a rather slow race and handed baton to Favour Ofili, who improved to hand over to Anita Taviore. Tima Godbless anchored at 43.90 seconds to pick the bronze. Jamaica won the race in 42.94 seconds.
