BLESSING OKAGBARE Cont'd
African Championships in Morocco, she also did the sprint double at the Commonwealth games in Glasgow and won a bronze in the sprint relay as well. She is making continuous improvements every year, breaking records along the way. She is the only female Nigerian athlete to have won medals at the World, Olympic, Commonwealth, All African Games and African Championships. To crown all this Blessing recently got married in Nigeria. I see her as a future Olympic champion if all goes well. However marriage is life changing and as such, she will have to find a balance between athletics and family life to go to the next level in Athletics. It is not going to be easy but it can be done!
