Blessing Okagbare wins Gold in Women's 100m final in Glasgow

Sprinter Blessing Okagbare just won Gold in the Women's 100m for Nigeria in the Commonwealth Games. She won in a time of 10.85 seconds in a new Games record, making her the second fastest woman of all time in World 100 metres. She beat Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell-Brown, Kerron Stewart and England’s Asha Phillip who came second, third and fourth respectively.

Blessing becomes the first Nigerian winner of this title since Mary Onyali back in 1994. You go Blessing!

She has always been the pride of the nation, and not just the nation, the continent as well. She is a role model. One of the greatest athletes to ever come out of Africa. She should be an inspiration to the wise, regardless of the fact that her field of choice is not perceived by many as feminine. She stood her ground, came, saw and conquered!
