Nigeria competed at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics from August 27 to September 4 in Daegu, South Korea.
Team selection
A team of 17 athletes was announced to represent the country in the event. The team was led by "Africa track queen" Blessing Okagbare competing in the 100m 4 × 100 m and Long Jump events.[1] However, the IAAF has rejected the USA-born duo of sprinter, Gloria Asumnu and quarter-miler, Ibukun Blessing Mayungbe as eligible athletes to compete for Nigeria at the 13th IAAF World Championships in Athletics.[2]
The final team on the entry list comprises the names of 14 athletes.[3] After a protest by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, Gloria Asumnu was declared eligible to start competing for Nigeria and participated in the Women's 4 x 100 metres relay event.[4]
The following athletes appeared on the preliminary Entry List,[3] but not on the Official Start List of the specific event,[5] resulting in a total number of 15 competitors:
