Ese Brume has won Gold in the women’s long jump event of the Commonwealth Games after leaping a distance of 6.99m.
Ese, who is a World Athletics championships silver medallist, was not in the Gold Coast, Australia, to defend her title four years ago but she has done it now in Birmingham.
Before now, the previous Games Record for the Women’s Long Jump was 6.97m set by Australia’s Bronwyn Thompson on home ground,Melbourne in 2006.
With the gold medal by Brume, Team Nigeria’s total haul of 12 gold medals is the best the country has ever secured since taking part in the Commonwealth Games.
Earlier today, Ese’s compatriot, Tobi Amusan, won gold in the 100M Hurdle, a feat she also attained in a spectacular fashion – also setting a new Games Record.
