Nigerian athlete Chukwuebuka Enekwechi has made history as the first African to throw over 22 meters in the men’s shot put.
At the Eugene Diamond League in the United States last weekend, Enekwechi clinched third place with a record-breaking throw of 22.10 meters, smashing his previous personal best of 21.91m set at the same event last year.
The impressive feat came in a highly competitive event, where Joe Kovacs took first place with a world-leading throw of 22.48m, while Roger Steen edged past Enekwechi for second, throwing 22.11m on his fifth attempt.
Enekwechi gave his all in a final attempt to surpass Steen but finished with 21.68m.
Still, his performance not only secured a podium finish but also wrote his name into the African athletics history books.
