Samuel Ogazi, a 20-year-old Nigerian sprinter, aims to become the greatest athlete of all time after claiming history by winning Nigeria's first-ever senior gold medal in the men's 400m race at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. The young athlete, who is currently ranked world number one, delivered an impressive performance at Scotstoun Stadium, clocking 44.25 seconds to beat defending champion Jereem Richards of Trinidad and Tobago in silver and South Africa's Zakithi Nene in bronze.
Ogazi, who has already been a teenage Olympic finalist and the fourth-fastest man of all time over the distance, downplayed the pressure of the occasion, stating he was simply determined to complete the race without causing disappointment. He revealed his long-term ambitions, hinting at Olympic and world championship gold medals, and even expressed his desire to become the greatest athlete ever.
Ogazi's former coach, Blaine Wiley, praised his remarkable talent and growth, asserting that the sky is the limit for Samuel.
