Concerns over Oghenebrume as Ajayi runs new 10.00 seconds lifetime best to win in Luzern
As Ashe storms home in third in 10.10 to dispel injury fears
There are concerns over the fitness of Godson Oghenebrume after the duo of Kanyinsola Ajayi and Favour Ashe competed for the second time in four days as they continue their preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Oghenebrume, in Nigeria’s training camp in Saabruken, Germany, was not listed in both races raising huge concerns over his fitness.
There are unconfirmed rumours the 21 year old may have been injured.
Meanwhile, Ajayi, the reigning Nigeria 100m champion supplanted Seye Ogunlewe as the athlete currently top of the form chart after speeding to a new 10.. seconds lifetime best to win the 100m event at the 2024 Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern, a World Athletics Continental Tour – Silver meeting in Luzern, Switzerland.
The 19 year old improved his lifetime best by a 100th of a second after running 10.01 to win the bronze medal at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships last month in Oregon, USA.
The other Nigerian in the event, Ashe came in third with 10.10 seconds to dispel injury fears after he was reported to have limped across the finish line last Saturday in Belgium.
Ajayi, who now trails Ashe 4-2 in head to head clashes, is now the on form sprinter going to the Games followed by Seye Ogunlewe who was inexplicably dropped by the AFN despite ulfilling all he conditions for qualification and Ashe who is third.
