Blessing Okagbare on Friday night May 27th 2016 met the Olympic Standard for the Long Jump at the Rio Olympic Games with a Jump of 6.73m at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meet in Eugene Oregon USA, placing fourth in the event. From Eugene the African and Nigerian superstar expressed some reservation but mostly satisfaction in her performance, as she was thankful that she had met the Rio Standard for the Long Jump.
The take away from her performance at the Long Jump in Eugene on Friday night is that she beat several of the top level performers in the world this year including the likes of Tiana Bartoletta of the USA, Janay Deloach of the US and Shara Proctor of the UK and is gradually getting the form she desires for Rio.
Blessing will now turn her attention to the short sprint of the 100 meters today May 28th 2016 where she will lock horns will fellow African Muriel Ahoure of the Ivory Coast, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce of Jamaica and once again Carmelita Jeter of the USA.
