Rivers State shot put sensation, Chima Ugwu has barged his way into the national record books with a 17.1m throw at the on-going National Sports Festival tagged "Gateway Games" holding at the Ogun State capital, Abeokuta.
The previous distance of 16.04m swooped upon by Kelechi of Imo State a few years back, has by this break-through, been dumped into the trash bin. By this suject-to-ratification result,Ugwu`s gold goes ahead to blast the treasure base of the nation to 5th position on the medals table.
