With a total of 176
medals won, Nigeria is ranked 10th on the all time Commonwealth Games
medals table over 20 competitions. A clear sign that we’ve been quite
good over the years. But something interesting happened in athletics
recently.
1. REGINA GEORGE
2. CHRISTY UDOH
3. DOMINIQUE DUNCAN
She
also only started running for Nigeria in May this year, even though her
profile says her mum is Nigerian. This 100 meters hurdles runner is not
the youngest member of the team at 31 but the experience she brings in
might just count after all. She’s been an NCAA champion in America and
has been to the Olympics. Interestingly she’s married and is a mother.
But you’d never know seeing how banging her Kardashian-esque body is.
Most impressive is her charity for homeless people. Great woman!
5. GLORIA ASUMNU
She’s
a gold medal winner for Nigeria at the All Africa Games in Mozambique
back in 2011. An awesome sprinter, she got to the 100 meters final in
Glasgow but her medal prospects will be in the 4 x 100 meters where team
Nigeria’s main challenge will come from the Jamaicans. Born in Houston
Texas to Nigerian parents, she has abs of steel and a skin that glows
without trying to join the light skin crew. Her focus is her greatest
asset though.
6. QUEEN BLESSING OKAGBARE
Regardless
of your opinion of her (hairstyles), I’m sorry but I can’t do a
Nigerian athletes hotlist without including Okagbare. Easily Nigeria’s
hottest athlete in Glasgow right now based on form, she’s also by far
the most consistent over the years. With legs that go on for days, this
26 year old, 5’11’ stunner has many more gold medals in her future.
Every Nigerian loves her!!!
Former US Olympic champion Maurice Greene, was contracted as
part of our athletics coaching crew and he allegedly started a
controversial move. He got a number of American runners to change their
nationality to Nigeria. Some had Nigerian roots. Many others didn’t. But
this article isn’t about sports politics. So checkout top 6 female
Nigerian athletes we have in Glasgow.
