African Games: Chidi Okezie emulates idol Innocent Egbunike, wins Nigeria's first gold medal in 37 years
Chidi Okezie became Nigeria's first African Games 400m champion since the legendary Innocent Egbunike did it in 1987.
The gap he gave the remaining competitors was so much that the second-placed finisher clocked 10.90s. According to reports, he has been beating 20-year-old men since he was 14 years old, and he's highly rated as the next future sprint star to take the world by storm, like the great Usain Bolt.
Competing in the 200m, Gout Gout clocked 20.68s (+2.4) for a convincing victory. This would have been a new PB but for the excessive wind reading. His best in the event stands at 20.69s, achieved in January this year and it is just 0.11s behind Bolt's time at the same age.

The GOAT effect: Nigerian athlete imitates Sha'Carri Richardson's signature style after winning an African Games relay race
The influence of Sha'Carri Richardson is presently unmatchable as she's now being imitated with her signature winning style.
The sensational speedster broke the Australian U18 records in the 100m and 200m with 10.43s and 20.87s respectively as a 15-year-old at the same championship, so taking them down by such massive margins in less than a year confirms his raw talent with so much yet to be developed.

Considering he's just beginning to tap into his potential, Gout Gout has all it takes to be a future track king with multiple records and medals like the legendary Bolt.
