Long jump athlete Ese Brume on Tuesday morning won the very first medal for Team Nigeria in the long jump event in the ongoing 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo Japan.
She won a bronze medal for herself and the country.
Brume was placed third after she surrendered silver on count back to Britney Reese of the USA as both leaped to 6.97m while Malaika Mihambo of Germany got gold with her last jump with a leap of 7.00m.
She is the first to gift Nigeria a medal in the ongoing Olympics in Tokyo after several disappointment and frustrating developments from team Nigeria.
