Aside from Blessing Okagbare, who is presently serving an 11-year doping ban, Brume is the only other Nigerian athlete that has won a medal in the last 20 years.Hammer thrower Oyesade Olatoye and the 4x400m mixed relay team will open Team Nigeria’s bid for podium appearances later on Friday at the Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, USA.

Three teams will qualify automatically from the heat for the final while two others with the fastest losing times will join. I will hold the final later on Friday evening. The Nigerian team set a new 3:13.60 African in Tokyo last year.Also on Friday evening, the heats for the men’s 100m will hold with Favour Ashe, the reigning fastest man in Nigeria scheduled to take part.

“The goal is always to do your best, first ensure that you make it to the final and see how it goes from there,” he declared.For many analysts, Nigeria’s best medal prospects are unarguably the trio of Ese Brume, Tobi Amusan, and Favour Ofili. “The 25-year-old Amusan has been in superb form, winning a Diamond League race in Paris on 18 June in 12.41, the fourth-fastest time of the year.
