Gold Coast 2018: Ogunlewe, Adegoke miss out on 100m medals

Seye Ogunlewe narrowly missed out of finishing in a medal position in the men’s 100 metres final of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia on Monday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ogunlewe recorded a personal best time of 10.19 secs in a photo-finish with Jamaican athlete Yohan Blake to place fourth.

The Jamaican also posted 10.19 secs.

However, it was Blake who was given third-place and the bronze medal after a much-deliberated review by the officials.

The other Nigerian in the final, Enoch Adegoke, finished seventh with a time of 10.35 secs.

Akani Simbine from South Africa won the 100m gold with a time of 10.03 secs, while his compatriot Henricho Bruintjies won silver with a time of 10.17 secs.

The games which began on April 4 will end on April 15
