History was made at the Nigerian Olympic Trials in Benin, where three athletes surpassed the 8-meter mark for the first time ever on home soil in the Men’s Long jump event.
This remarkable achievement is a significant milestone in Nigerian athletics.
Emmanuel Njoku led the charge with a massive personal best (PB) of 8.00 meters.
His jump places him among Nigeria’s elite, joining the ranks of Charles Godfred and Goodness Iredia.
