Leading the charge is Tobi Amusan, the world record holder in the 100 meters hurdles.

Her recent victory at the African Games further solidifies her status as a top athlete to watch.

Ese Brume, the bronze medalist in the Long Jump event at the Tokyo Olympics, is also gearing up for another shot at glory. With a personal best of 7.17 meters and a string of impressive performances, Brume is poised to make a mark at the upcoming Games.

Ruth Usoro, who recently clinched gold in the triple jump at the African Games, is another athlete to watch out for. With a strong showing in the long and triple jump events, Usoro is determined to make her mark on the Olympic stage.

Favour Ofili and Favour Ashe are also making headlines with their impressive performances in the 200 meters event. Ofili, a silver medalist at the African Games, and Ashe, the world lead in the men’s 100 meters, are both looking to make a statement in Paris.

Chukwuebuka Enekwechi, the African record holder in the Shot Put, is another athlete with medal prospects at the upcoming Olympics. With a strong showing at the recent indoor tour, Enekwechi is ready to take on the world’s best in Paris.

Ezekiel Nathaniel, the Nigerian record holder in the 400 meters hurdles, is also a strong contender for a medal. With a blistering time of 48.29 seconds, Nathaniel is set to make his mark on the Olympic stage.

As the countdown to the 2024 Olympics begins, Team Nigeria athletics is shaping up for success with a talented group of athletes ready to take on the world. With strong performances and promising prospects, Nigeria is poised to make a mark in Paris and bring home a haul of medals.
