Commonwealth Games: Another Nigerian sets new World Record

Few weeks after the heroics of Tobi Amusan at the World Championships in Oregon, Nigeria has another World Record holder.

Team Nigeria’s Nwachukwu Goodness on Thursday secured Nigeria’s fourth gold medal at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

She did it in outstanding fashion; breaking the World record twice before claiming the top prize

The 23-year-old, Nigeria’s sole competitor in the Women’s Discuss Throw F42-44/61-64 event, was shoulder and heads above her teammates; setting new records with her first two throws.

Nwachukwu before now was the F42 World Record holder with the best mark of 33.35m but on Thursday she improved on that distance with her first throw of 34.84m which she further improved upon with a throw of 36.56m.
