Okagbare grabs a Bronze medal in the 200m


Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare won her second individual medal of the ongoing IAAF World athletics Championship this evening when she placed third in the final of the Women's 200m. She returned a time of 22.32s, same as Ivorien Ahoure who was awarded the Silver medal.

It was however double Gold for Jamacain Shelly-Ann-Fraser Pryce who came out fast from the blocks to win in 22.17s.

Okagbare's Silver and Bronze medals are the only medals won by Nigeria so far in the Championship, to place 21st on the medals table.
