Ese Brume, a long jumper, broke the Commonwealth Games record to earn Nigeria’s 12th gold medal at the competition now taking place in Birmingham. After setting a new Commonwealth Games record of 6.99m on her fourth attempt, Brume put herself in a strong position to win the gold medal.
A few minutes later, on her final attempt, the 26-year-old smashed the Games record once more after clearing 7.00 meters to secure Nigeria’s final gold medal of Day 10.
