The last 100m has always been the best part of my race. π₯
And once again, Lilian Odira proved exactly why.
Odira crossed the line in 1:56.19, holding off Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson, who finished second in 1:56.73.
When the bell rings, everyone is in the race. When the last 100m arrives, it becomes Lilian Odira's show. ππ°πͺπ₯
"Coming to America for the first time and winning... it's so amazing." πΊπΈβ¨
For Lilian Odira , her first @nikepreclassic couldn't have been scripted any better.
"I'm a quiet girl, so no one expects anything. No one knows much about my training journey,so much happens behind the scenes. I'm just so thankful, and I'm very happy."
The reigning World Champion let her legs do the talking, storming to another 800m victory at the Pre Classic in 1:56.19, ahead of Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson (1:56.73).
Quiet off the track. Ruthless on it. Sometimes the loudest statement is made at the finish line. ππ°πͺβ‘

We kicked off Day 2 the best way we know how, by getting moving!
Before the discussions began, we took part in some Cheza Healthy Moves, reminding us that movement isn't just for athletes it's for everyone. A little fun, a lot of energy, and the perfect way to connect before diving into conversations about the future of African sport.
After all, healthy minds and active bodies make for even better ideas. π

The forum isn't the only thing bringing people together. ππ€
Between sessions, the networking is just as valuable because sometimes one conversation can spark the next big opportunity for African sport.
#RoadToLA2028#Networking#AfricaInSport#LA2028
Less "what if?" π€
More "how do we get there?" ππ
The conversations keep rolling as we turn ideas into action and keep our eyes firmly on LA 2028. Every great Olympic story starts long before the opening ceremony.

Planning today for the performances we hope to celebrate in LA 2028. Every conversation, every idea, and every solution brings Africa one step closer to the Olympic dream. π°πͺπ«‘
#RoadtoLA#LA2028
Day 1 of the English Forum π°πͺπ«‘
The conversation? One big question: Is Africa ready for the road to LA 2028? πΊπΈ
From athlete development and funding to sports science, infrastructure, and collaboration, today's discussions focused on what it will take for African nations to not just participate but compete, contend, and make history at the Olympic Games.
The countdown to LA has already begun, and preparation starts with conversations like these.
#RoadToLA2028
Champions are remembered for their performances, but they're respected for their integrity. π°πͺπͺ
As the countdown to Glasgow 2026 continues, the message is clear:
β Play clean.
β Play fair.
β Play with pride.
Every clean performance protects the spirit of sport, inspires the next generation, and proves that success earned through hard work is always worth more than shortcuts.
Let's build a sporting culture where talent, discipline, and honesty are the only performance enhancers. π°πͺπͺ
