Nigeria’s Ese Brume leaped 7.02m to claim Silver Medal for Nigeria at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, United States on Sunday.
After barely making the final, Brume’s last jump in the semi-final booked her automatic qualification to the final.
The Olympic Bronze medalist leaped 7.02 to win Silver medal for Nigeria behind Germany’s Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo who leaped 7.12m. Brazil’s Leticia Oro Melo jumped 6.89m to take Bronze.
Brume’s Silver medal is an improvement from the Bronze she won at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, 2019.
