Abi’s Bird’s Eye View
A renowned sprint athlete from Great Britain, Abiodun Oyepitan was born on December 30, 1979 in Westminster, London. Abi’s first exposure to athletics was during the 1998 World Junior Athletics Championships, coming off fourth in the British 4 x 100m relay team. Abi’s great performance in athletics was going along finely at the junior level, until she got injured and was forced to impede her progress, putting off prospective games.
Bouncing Back
The following year, after Abi’s injury has healed, the 28-year old sprint athlete won a silver medal at the European, under-23 championships. In 2001, Abi participated in the 2001 World Championships 4 x 100m relay where she set the second fastest time ever by the British squad. That same year, Abi got the gold at the World Student Games.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
In 2002, Abi made it to the finals of the Commonwealth Games 100m. This time, Abi went home with a silver medal, just behind a team from Australia. Garnering the silver once again, she made it to the finals of the European Athletics Championships.
