It was a disappointing outing for Nigeria contingents in Bahamas at the IAAF World Relays as the Nigeria 4x200m Women’s team were unable to successfully defend the title they won two years ago as they could only manage a fifth pace this term at the 2017.
Running in Heat 2, Nigeria represented by the quartet of Jenifer Madu, Patience Okon-George, Ugonna Ndu and Dominque Duncan finished second behind Jamaica with a time of 1:33.78 to book a place in the final.
However, when push came to shove in the final race, the Nigerian ladies could only finish fifth even though they ran an improved time of 1:33.08 which is a Season Best Time.
The 4x200m Women’s event was won by Jamaica who were propelled by a strong opening leg by Jura Levy.
The winning time for the Jamaicans was 1:29.04 and it is a World Relays record.
The German quartet clocked 1:30.68 to finish second; one podium step higher than in 2015.
