Falilat Ogunkoya, the Former Nigerian Olympic Medalist has advised the
current champion Blessing Okagbare to take a break so she can't put in
her best at the 2016 olympics.
Ogunkoya said to The Punch, "I think it was only Allyson Felix who had
a lighter schedule
because she was injured last year and was trying to come back to her
best. That was
unlike Okagbare's who had to feature in double events throughout last
year and this
year. We should give her a break."
"Be that as it may, I don't think she will burn herself out before
2016 Olympics. I don't
think so; she's good at managing herself. At the Commonwealth Games,
she decided to
do both the 100m and 200m events, and at
the African Championships, she competed in the 100m and the relay. It
is going to be a
decision between her and her coach, John Smith, when considering which
events she will compete next year."
