Remember when we told you that Tosin Oke had revenge on his mind at #Marrakech2014? Well, we were correct, because at #Durban2016, he took his pound of flesh from Khotso Mokoena on his home turf to regain his Triple Jump title. #AfricanChamps #Asaba2018. #Durban2016Recap

Ese Brume successfully defended her Long Jump GOLD from #Marrakech2014 at #Durban2016. If she makes it a hat-trick of titles at #Asaba2018, she will become the first athlete (male or female) to win three consecutive Long Jump titles at the #AfricanChamps. #Durban2016Recap

Unfortunately, Murielle Ahouré has withdrawn from #Asaba2018 after sustaining a serious allergic reaction last weekend in London. It would have been great to see her re-ignite her rivalry with Blessing Okagbare, Ta Lou & Carina Horn. #AfricanChamps #Durban2016Recap #Asaba2018
A son of the soil, Oduduru is going to bounce back on his home turf at #Asaba2018 & will have the home fans behind him. The 2018 NCAA 200m Champion has enjoyed a fantastic season. Don’t say you never esperred it when you see him on the podium! #AfricanChamps #Durban2016Recap
Divine Oduduru needs no introduction because we all know he’s got the black man’s blood in him. Fresh from winning the 200m at the Nigerian Trials, he was poised for a medal at #Durban2016, but had to pull out of the final due to an injury. #AfricanChamps #Durban2016Recap
The poster boy for #Durban2016 was Wayde Van Niekerk, who had stormed to his 1st World Championships title in 2015. At #Durban2016, Van Niekerk raced in the 200m & 4x100m, & Divine Oduduru gave him a run for his money in the 200m semis. #AfricanChamps #Durban2016Recap #Asaba2018
