Sports Gist on Social Media: Blessing Okagbare Breaks 22-Year Old Record

Achem Samuel
Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor was the first to cross the finish line in the 200m event at the Wes Kittley Invitational at the Abilene Christian University, Abilene, Texas, USA as she crumbled a 22-year-old record set by Mary Onyali in Switzerland. Blessing is overjoyed and thankful for a career that has faced challenges, yet she’s made so much progress and is well on her way to achieving her dream of running 200m within 22secs. Nigerians and Africans, in general, have been making history in the game of sports in recent times. It would have been too unimaginable a few years ago for a team of African women to run a 4×100 relay race, but at the IAAF Ostrava 2018, there is every possibility that the cumulative time of four very fast female African athletes will be within 41sec. The IAAF Continental Cup, Ostrava, Czech Republic will run from September 8, 2018, to September 9, 2018. In the late hours of Monday, Anthony Joshua shared a photo of himself chopping woods (community service) with an axe in a bush with the caption “Still I Rise” referring to how he has come a long way and how there’s still a lot more he is yet to achieve, one being the fourth man in history to hold three world heavyweights championships at a time.
