In Athletics, Blessing Okagbare has set a new national record at the Athletic Federation of Nigeria (AFN) Olympic Trials ongoing at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos State.
The duo of Okagbare and Enoch Adegoke set a new time of 10.62 and 9.97 sec., respectively, to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Okagbare’s qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Games will be her fourth participation in the Olympic, noting that having a new coach has helped her stay fit after years of injury.
While on his part, Adegoke says having to finish at such an impressive time will further boost his confidence at the Olympics.
