A memorable Commonwealth Games debut for Ruth Usoro! 🥈
Competing as a late replacement for Ese Brume in the women’s long jump, Ruth Usoro rose to the occasion and made the most of her opportunity. Her silver medal in Glasgow marks her first-ever Commonwealth Games podium finish and a well-deserved reward for an outstanding performance.

A medal that was worth the wait!
Temitope Adeshina was the last Nigerian athlete to leave the stadium on Day 2 of Athletics at #Glasgow2026
At the time their medal ceremony was done (because of rain delay), only a handful of people left in stadium.
Thankfully, her coach was there with her until they left by past 11pm.
Her smile sums up what the medal means to her.

Temitope Adeshina's Rise: From the Soil to International Dominance
When Temitope Adeshina first arrived on the collegiate scene, she did so with modest credentials, a personal best of 1.94 metres in the high jump and relatively limited exposure. Few could have predicted the trajectory that would follow.
Her freshman campaign proved to be a revelation, as she shattered her previous best to clear 1.97 metres at the #2024NCAATF Championships where she secured a third place finish while setting a national record.
That breakout season was underscored by conference supremacy, as she captured gold at both the Big 12 Indoor and Outdoor Championships, an omen of greater achievements to come.
Now, as a junior at @TexasTechTF Adeshina has elevated her game to an unparalleled level of consistency. She has remained undefeated throughout the 2026 season, extending her winning streak and finally claiming the one title that had eluded her, the NCAA outdoor national crown.
With this victory, she has completed her collegiate championship collection, cementing her legacy as one of the best high jumpers in the nation.
Remarkably, Adeshina has cleared the 1.97 metres barrier in three consecutive years, a testament to her consistency and technical refinement.
As she closes the chapter on her third year in college, her résumé now complete with conference titles, top 10 all-time in collegiate history (indoors & outdoors), national records, and championship crown (indoors and outdoor).
