Team Nigeria will have a strong presence in the Women’s long jump final at the ongoing Paris Olympics, with Ese Brume, Prestina Ochonogor, and Ruth Usoro all advancing to the final round.

Ruth Usoro was the first to secure her spot, achieving an impressive 7 meters on her initial jump.

Ese Brume, despite a modest start with a 6.44m leap in the first round, showed resilience.

Prestina Ochonogor recorded a 6.29m jump in the initial round.

In the second round, Usoro continued her stellar performance, hitting the board perfectly and landing a 6.68m jump, securing the lead.

Ochonogor, inspired by Usoro’s jump, soared to 6.65m, securing second place in Group B.

Brume, needing a significant improvement, managed only 6.40m in her second attempt.

With just one jump remaining and needing to meet the 6.75m automatic qualification mark or a top 12 finish, the African record holder delivered under pressure.

Brume charged down the runway and achieved a 6.76m leap, ensuring her place in the final.

The trio’s performance promises an exciting final as they represent Nigeria on the Olympic stage.
