Blessing Okagbare’s impressive Diamond League season showed more signs of improvement in Birmingham at the Sainsbury’s Grand Prix where she raced a wind assisted (+0.9) to emerge first ahead of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Lalova Ivet of Bulgaria.

From start to finish, the 24-year-old Nigerian defied all predictions and carried on moving away from the rest athletes. Worthy of credit was the manner with which she took to the bend, blazing hot with vigour and determination as she went on to finish first in 22.55secs ahead of London Olympic silver medalist Fraser-Pryce 22.72secs and Ivet 23.02secs.

Ryemyen Mariya (23.07secs) of Bulgaria and Onuora Anyika (23.13secs), racing for Team GB came 4th and 5th respectively, as Jeters (23.36secs) seems not to have recovered fully from his hamstring injury, finishing 7.

She's worth it. CONGRATS

Good News

50calibre: Please let her not embarrass us by coming last, because it seems like that's all they do these days. If she isn't fit, let her pull out now and feign injury.

Frazer Pryce would win the race. She won the gold medal in the last olympics. The same race Blessing took the 7th position.

Congratulations to her! This lady and others who struggle every day to make Nigeria proud should be encouraged bt both the private and public sectors. How I wish the Nigerian government should treat all sports the same way and not focus more on some sports than others.

Congratulation to Blessing!!! She deserves it.

I have a fear Okagbare will be running for USA at next olympics. She's all America wants to break Jamaican women hold in sprint.
