NIGERIA'S BLESSING OKAGBARE WINS GOLD AT THE 2014 COMMONWEALTH GAMES

All smiles: Okagbare celebrates her victory with a Nigeria flag inside Hampden Park

Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare sensationally became the Commonwealth champion last night when she ran 10.85 seconds to beat the pack that included Jamaican duo of Veronica Campbell-Brown and Kerron Stewart who took the silver and bronze in 11.03 and 11.07 respectively.

On the stands cheering was Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State who has been the pillar of many Nigerian athletes including Okagbare.
Blessing will also contest the 200m and long jump.

Pure joy: Okagbare punches the air in delight after crossing the line ahead of Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown
