Nigeria’s Ese Brume has won the country’s first medal in the competition. She won the bronze medal in the Olympic Long Jump event at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Brume qualified for the final stage on Sunday morning after she leapt to a distance of 6.76m, 1cm more than the required mark to seal her place.
She went further to clinch the bronze medal with a 6.97m jump.
Germany’s Malaika Mihambo clinched the gold medal with 7.00m jump while U.S.A’s Brittney Reese clinched the silver medal with 6.97m on count back.
Brume is Nigeria’s sole representative in the jumps in Tokyo since the disqualification of Ruth Usoro by the Athletics Integrity Unit.
