IDOMA VOICE reports that Nzubechi Grace Nwokocha (born 7 April 2001) is a Nigerian sprinter, a multiple time national champion over 100 metres.

Nzubechi Grace Nwokocha is one of the Nigerian quartet of Tobi Amusan, Favour Ofili, and Rosemary Chukwuma who ran a race of their lives to emerge winners in the 4x100m women’s relay event of the Commonwealth Games on Sunday with a time of 42.10s and also setting an African Record.

Tobi Amusan’s lead leg, Ofili down the back straight, Chukwuma’s fiery lap and Nwokocha’s anchor blew defending champions England away and made 100m and 200m champion Elaine Thompson-Herah settle for Bronze.

Although Nigeria coming out tops may have surprised some, it was actually a replay of the team’s feat that saw them qualify for the final with the fastest qualifying time.
