During the final day of Athletics at the Commonwealth Games 2022 being held in Birmingham, Nigerian athlete Ese Brume twice jumped to a new Games Record, by jumping 7.00m (+1.6) to reclaim the Long Jump Commonwealth title, which she won last time during the Glasgow 2014 edition.
The African Record holder was unstoppable and showed a dominant display during the event.
Brume jumped 6.99 and again 6.99m on her 2nd attempt and immediately took the lead. In a six-jump series, Brume jumped marks over 6.9m four times, fouling once and her slightest mark being 6.81m.
Apart from the 7m, which she jumped during her last attempt when she had already clinched the Gold medal, she jumped 6.99m twice and then 6.96m twice. All scores were good enough to win her the title.
Ese Brume jumped the jump of her life to win Gold in the Long jump. She is now a World Record holder & Commonwealth Games Record holder. Team Nigeria now have 12 Gold Medals. Our Girls deserve all the accolades. Queens & more.🇳🇬👏 pic.twitter.com/rPgwrUCxmT
