Nigerian trio of Ese Brume, Ruth Usoro, and Prestina Ochonogor will compete in the women's long jump final, a historic feat in Olympic history.
Never in doubt to deliver on big occasions, Ese Brume has attained another unprecedented milestone by leading three Nigerian jumpers into the women's long lump Olympic final for the first time in history.
The Nigerian jump queen saved her best mark for the last when she leaped a brilliant distance of 6.76m, thus surpassing the automatic qualifying distance of 6.75m to book her third consecutive Olympic final.

Brume has been one of the country's shining stars at the international level, ensuring Nigeria is well-represented and mostly on the podium.
She was Nigeria's only athletics medallist at the Tokyo Olympics, and hopefully, a repetition of the same measure of performance can bounce her back on the podium in Paris.
