Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare who broke the African Women's 100metres
record less than two hours ago with a time of 10:86 seconds has beaten
that record in the final of the ongoing Sainsbury's Anniversary games
in London with a time of 10:79seconds.
Okagbare's seems to have perfected her style of starting slower but
catching up with the others towards the 60 metre mark using the her
1.80m height to the best of her ability.
The Nigerian Sprinter couldn't contain her joy when she confirmed her
victory. In an interview granted after, she gave thanks to God
Almighty and said she was glad that her timing was getting better.
Okagbare beat Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, who had the best qualifyingtime
to fourth place behind second placed Babara Pierce of the USA and
their placed Kelly Ann Baptiste of Trinidad and Tobabgo.
Other runners were Murielle Ahoure of Cote D'ivore, Kerron Stewartof
Jamaica, English Gardner and Carmelita Jeter, both of the USA.
