ONE AND DONE!!
Jessica Oji 🇳🇬 launched 17.56m on her very first attempt to qualify automatically for the women's Shot Put final at the World U20 Championships in Eugene.
Her mark sailed well beyond the 16.00m automatic qualifying standard, while she heads into this evening's final as one of the favourites for GOLD.
