Enoch Adegoke has qualified for the final of 100m men’s event at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
This is the first time Nigeria will have a representative in the final of the 100m men’s event since Davidson Ezinwa achieved the feat at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games.
Adegoke had won his Heat on Saturday with a new personal Best Time of 9.98secs. This made him the 11th Nigerian in history to go under 10 seconds and the 10th joint-fastest Nigerian in history.
Fellow Nigerian, Usehoritse Itsekiri, who made it to the semi-final, however, failed to scale through.
Adegoke is an indigene of Igbope, Oorelope local government in the Oke Ogun area of Oyo state.
