Nigeria’s Ese Brume leaped to gold in the women’s long jump event of the African Games, jumping a record 6.92 meters to defend her title in Accra, the Ghanaian capital on Thursday night.
She won the title in 2019 in the Moroccan city of Rabat and continued her fine form five years later in Ghana.
Brume’s first attempt was good enough for gold on the night that her compatriot Prestina Ochonogor also won the bronze medal. She had a jump of 6.67m.
