| Blessing Okagbare |
Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare on Wednesday
failed to show up for the women’s 200m at the ongoing IAAF World Athletics
Championships in Beijing, China. After
her disappointing eighth-place finish in the 100m on Monday, Nigerians had
hoped that the 2014 Commonwealth gold medallist would redeem herself in the
200m which she was billed to take part in.
But Okagbare
did not start (DNS) in the Heat Three of the event.
The Punch report continues:
However,
sources in Beijing said the African champion was nursing an injury, which could
become aggravated if she had participated in the race.
Meanwhile,
former World and Olympic champion, Veronica Campbell-Brown, and her Jamaican
teammate, Elaine Thompson, have qualified for the semi-finals of the event.
Also in the semi-finals is
the silver medallist in the women’s 100m, Netherland’s Dafne Schippers.
