Team Nigeria (Women) Wins Gold At 2015 IAAF World Relay

Team-Nigeria

Team Nigeria won the women’s 4x200m gold in dramatic fashion while Kenya settled for silver in the women’s distance medley on the first day of the IAAF/BTC World Relays, Bahamas 2015.

Pre-race favourites USA looked to be on course to successfully defend their title from 2014 with Shalonda Solomon, Kimberlyn Duncan and Jeneba Tarmoh edging the Americans to a comfortable lead up to the last leg.

But a mix-up in the final changeover between Tarmoh and Olympic 200m champion Allyson Felix, meant that the Nigerians in second place were able to profit.

The Nigerian quartet of Blessing Okagbare, Regina George, Dominique Duncan and Christy Udoh shaved two seconds off their national/African record set earlier this year to take the gold medal in 1:30.52.

In second place, The Bahamas crossed the line in 1:30.66, but they were soon disqualified for completing their second changeover outside of the zone.

Jamaica then moved up to the second position on the podium in 1:31.73 with Germany moving up to third in 1:33.61 while China set an Asian record of 1:34.89 in fourth.

Hearty congratulations to them!
