Former Nigerian sprinters, Olusoji Fasuba and Endurance Ojokolo were thrilled by the performance of home-based athletes, who competed at the AFN Classics held at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium in Ado Ekiti at the weekend. Fasuba, who hails from Ekiti State, is the current African record holder in 100m with the 9.85 seconds he set in Doha in 2006. Speaking with The Guardian at the end of the AFN Classics, Fasuba said he was excited by the performance displayed by the athletes. Ojokolo led some athletes to compete at the AFN Classics and was equally thrilled by their performances. “This is the real AFN Classics we attended in our days,” the Sapele-born sprinter said.
