Team Nigeria finished their campaign on a blistering note at the Commonwealth Youth Games on Thursday night; winning three gold medals and setting a new Games Record in the 4x100m mixed relay.
Having initially won the gold medal in the 100m and 400m events respectively, Faith Okwose and Samuel Ogazi claimed the gold medal in both the women’s and men’s 200m events.
As rightly predicted, Okwose won the women’s 200m gold in a time of 23.36s while her compatriot Eyakpobeyan Justina settled for the silver medal with her time of 23.47s.
The bronze medal in the women’s 200m event was won by Locker La’nica from Antigua and Barbuda.
In the men’s race, Ogazi put up another dominant performance; claiming the gold with a time of 21.22s.
