With 30m to go trailing Botswana, Nigeria's Omolara Ogunmakinju did the unbelievable by chasing down her opponent and winning the Gold medal. This is arguably one of the greatest relay races in history.
Nigeria's Omolara Ogunmakinju was a class apart and the cynosure of eyes in the mixed 4x400m final at the African Games in Ghana, as she anchored her team to the gold medal.
The Nigerian team comprising Emmanuel Ojeli, Patience George, and Sikiru Adeyemi trailed Botswana for the first three baton exchanges until Ogunmakinju received it.
