In a remarkable showcase of Nigerian sprinting excellence, Israel Okon blazed to a new personal best of 10.06s (0.0) to claim victory in the men’s 100m B race at the Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern in Switzerland.
Okon’s electrifying run not only earned him the top spot on the podium but also underlined his growing status in the international sprint scene. Right behind him was fellow compatriot Favour Ashe, who clocked 10.16s to seal a dominant Nigerian 1-2 finish on European soil.
