Tokyo Olympics: Nigeria’s Medal Hopeful Ese Brume Qualifies for Women’s Long Jump Final
Nigeria’s long jumper Ese Brume has qualified for the final of the women’s long jump at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Ese Brume placed fourth with a 6.76m jump, 1cm more than the required mark, to claim the final spot in Group B.
Spanovic Ivana of Serbia leapt the longest distance of 7.00 to finish first overall for the day.
25-year-old Ese, who was Nigeria’s only medalist at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, is seen as one of the country’s strong medal prospects for the Olympic Games, having jumped a distance of 7.17m at the Chula Vista Festival in California in May to break Chioma Ajunwa’s long-standing 7.12m record.

Ese was the only Nigerian athlete who reached the final at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, where she placed fifth with a leap of 6.81m.
Ese will compete in the final against Malaika Mihambo, reigning WAC gold medalist from Germany, America’s duo – Brittney Reese and Tara Davis and Malone Ellen Chantel of British Virgin Island, to win a medal. She is Nigeria’s sole representative in Tokyo. The final is set for Tuesday, the 3rd of August at 11:45 am.
We are rooting for Ese Brume.

Hi friends, һow is the whⲟle thing, аnd what you
wish for to say on the topic of thіs post, in my view
іts genuinely remarkable in favor of me.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something
that I think I would never understand. It seems too
complicated and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post,
I will try to get the hang of it!
