**Delta State Brings Home Double Gold at Niger Delta Games** The 2nd Niger Delta Games in Benin City recently witnessed a spectacular moment for Delta State, as their athletes Ejiro Peter and Chibueze Ozama made history by winning gold medals in the women's and men's 100m finals. The event, which brought together the best young athletes from the Niger Delta region, was a thrilling display of speed and agility. In the women's 100m final, Ejiro Peter from Delta State left the competition behind, crossing the finish line in a blistering 11.58 seconds to claim the top spot on the podium. Tejiri Ugoh Praise from Edo State took silver with a time of 11.76 seconds, while Victory Imoisemeh Azobudi of Edo State secured the bronze medal. This victory marked a significant moment for Delta State, who have consistently demonstrated their strength in athletics. The men's 100m final saw Delta State's dominance continue, as Chibueze Ozama sprinted to gold in an impressive 10.42 seconds. Bright Gift from Akwa Ibom State finished second with a time of 10.57 seconds, while Saturday Godswill claimed the bronze medal in 10.59 seconds. Although neither of the gold medal winners set new records, their performances showed great promise for the future of athletics in the Niger Delta region. The Niger Delta Games have undergone significant changes since its inception, with the current edition restricted to Under-25 athletes. This change has made it more challenging for athletes to break previous records, but it has also provided a platform for young talents to showcase their skills. Favour Ashe's men's record of 10.16 seconds remains unbeaten, but there is hope that Jennifer Chukwuka's women's record of 11.41 seconds could be surpassed soon. With Delta State's consistent performances, the future of athletics in the region looks bright.
