And her followers have continued to react. One said:

“Wadup Blessing.... Time to prove them wrong.

How Okagbare broke long-standing record

Sports Brief earlier reported that Blessing Okagbare became the first athlete to complete a 100m race in less than 11 seconds at the P-T-S Meeting staged in, Samorin, Slovak Republic.

The multiple award-winning Nigerian athlete won the women's event after running at 10.98 seconds - breaking the longstanding 11.09 seconds record set by Czech Republic's Jarmila Kratochvílova in 1983.

Her victory also means that the 32-year-old has continued to make progress towards her preparations for this summer's Tokyo Olympic Games.
