Brume eyes Okagbare’s record
• As AFN uses Olukoya Champ for selection
Commonwealth Gold medalist, Ese Brume was the cynosure of all eyes at the 5th D.K Olukoya Youth and Junior Athletics Championships which was concluded on Saturday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium,Lagos. Brume, who ran one of the best times in the women’s 100m, 200m races rounded up with a sterling performance in the jumps.
In a chat with SportingLife on Saturday, Brumeh claimed she was looking forward to perfecting her skills in the women’s 100m race as she wishes to surpass the feat of the fastest woman in Africa and Commonwealth gold medalist, Blessing Okagbare.
“I am sure I can fill in her(Okagbare) shoes with time. I came for the Olukoya Youth Championship in order to work on my time ahead of the Youth World Athletics Championships slated for this year in Mauritus,” she said.
In the same vein, Divine Oduduru also outclassed his contemporaries in the men’s 100m race. Oduduru, who is presently under Coach Daniel Etsebiminor told SportingLife he was ready to soar.
He said: We have had a rigorous training under Coach Daniel. Okagbare has been of tremendous help as she also trains with us anytime she is in Sapele, Delta State. This has encouraged us and I feel I can end the drought in the men’s 100m category with time.”
Meanwhile, the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has put all logistics in place to camp successful athletes that took part in the fifth edition of the Dr. D. K. Olukoya Youth and Junior Athletics Championships at the IAAF recognised High performance Training Centre (HPC) at the University of Port-Harcourt.
According to the Technical Director of AFN, Navy Commodore Omatseye Nesiama: “We are preparing for the African Youth Championships and African Junior Championships. We also have the World Youth Championship, so we are using this particular championship which is very crucial for our trials for the youth and junior athletes at the same time so it is very serious.
Immediately after this, the athletes selected will go into camp in preparation for the African Youth Championship (AYC).
Again, it is significant because most of the youth athletes are also qualified for Juniors. You can see a situation that the same crop of athletes qualify for the junior and youth championship.”
