Goodness Nwachukwu sets new World Record, wins Commonwealth Gold medal

The 23-year-old NWACHUKWU GOODNESS drew thunderous applause from the fans at the Alexander Stadium with her spectacular performance.

Nwachukwu Goodness has secured Nigeria’s fourth gold medal at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. She did it in spectacular fashion; breaking the world record twice before claiming the top prize.

The 23-year-old, Nigeria’s sole competitor in the Women’s Discus Throw F42-44/61-64 event, was way better than her challengers; setting new records with her first two throws.

Nwachukwu before now was the F42 World Record holder with the best mark of 33.35m but on Thursday she improved on that distance with her first throw of 34.84m which she further improved upon with a throw of 36.56m.
