Blessing Okagbare still Nigeria's Fastest Woman @ 11:25 sec

Blessing on the right -2012 Olympics

Blessing Okagbare confirmed that she is the undisputed queen of Nigerian  sprints when she retained the 100m title for the third year running.

However, she ran a slow 11.25 seconds leaving spectators wondering what might be eating up the woman with the fastest time in the 200m this year who has run a wind assisted 10. 89 seconds in 100m.

Before the race the athletes were kept waiting on the blocks for sometime, but once the gun boomed they went off in a slow start and it seemed Okagbare who is eying Gloria Alozie’s national and African record,  had no desire to go full speed as Gloria Asumun, Peace Uko, Mariam Bassey and Justina Sule failed to provide the required push to have a keenly contested final. Asumun finished second with 11. 47, while junior athlete Uko was third with 11.67 seconds.

The men’s 100m race will be decided today
