Lauritta Onye has handed Nigeria yet another gold medal at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio, Brazil after her sot put f40.
Onye’s first throw of 7.83m was enough to see her break her world record of 7.72m, set at the 2015 IPC World Athletics Championships in Doha.
Onye’s second throw hit the 7.54m mark, while her third attempt went one centimeter further.
She eventually clinched gold with 8.40m on her fourth attempt.
It is the first gold Team Nigeria will win in athletics at the competition and with a total of five golds.
