- Blessing Okagbare carried her good form from the Commonwealth Games over to the 11th Africa Senior Athletics Championships in Morocco, winning another gold in the 100m.
The Nigerian superstar set a new Championship record in the process, just as she did in Glasgow weeks earlier.
Despite facing stiff competition from Ivorian double world silver medallist Murielle Ahoure, Okagbare proved her recent victories were no fluke as she stormed across the finish line in 11.00 - despite having to deal with a stiff -1.4m/s headwind.

In the process, she also took 0.03 off the championship record she set when winning this title in 2010.
Ahoure had to settle for the silver medal in 11.03 from compatriot Marie Josee Ta Lou, who claimed bronze.
