African Games triple jump champion Grace Anigbata Chinonyelum has admitted to skipping breakfast before winning the continental event due to nerves.
Anigbata was 20 and in Morocco without a her coach when she jumped 13.75 metres at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. The day before my competition, I was nervous, Anigbata revealed in an interview with Kansas State University s website.
Anigbata is now a student-athlete at the American university. In the morning, before going to the track, I couldn t eat. I wasn t thinking about food.
Instead, Anigbata was thinking about making the qualification standard for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, rather than appreciating the chance that was there to win the African Games title.
