Former Nigerian athlete Annette Echikunwoke soars to Olympic final with stunning Hammer throw for USA


In a remarkable display of athletic prowess, Annette Echikunwoke, representing the United States, secured her spot in the women's Hammer Throw final with just one attempt at the U.S. Olympic Trials. 

She surpassed the automatic qualification standard of 73.00m, launching the hammer to an impressive distance of 73.52m. 

This achievement marks her first national title and a triumphant return to the Olympic stage after missing the Tokyo 2020 Games due to a clerical error with the Nigerian team. 

Recall that Annette Echikunwoke is former Nigerian athlete. 

What happened? Hmmm…let’s pray that Favour Ofili who just won her 200m heat, does not catch the bug.
