Ese Brume has won gold for Nigeria in the women’s long jump at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Brume had a no jump on her first attempt but bounced back right away to jump 6.99m to take the lead in the final and set a new Games Record. Peep her series: 6.99m, 6.81m, 6.99m, and 6.96m in her subsequent jumps.
In her last attempt, Brume jumped seven meters for another Games Record to become the first woman to reach that record in the Commonwealth Games.
Brume has won gold as an 18-year-old at the 2014 commonwealth games in Glasgow, bronze at the World Athletics Championships in Doha in 2019 and another bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She also won silver at the World indoors in March before moving on to the biggest athletics stage in Eugene, Oregon two weeks ago.
Congratulations Ese Brume, we are so proud.
