Nigerian track and field icon Blessing Okagbare is marking her 37th birthday today — and she’s celebrating the special day with her daughter.

The former Olympic and World Championship medalist took to social media to share a heartwarming photo of herself and her little girl, calling it a “special 37th birthday.”

“Best Birthday Ever. I get to celebrate it with my Oreofe. A very blessed 37th birthday indeed. Lord, you have always done it for me,” she wrote.

Okagbare and her husband welcomed their first child, Oreofe, in December 2024.

Since her post, fans and fellow athletes have flooded her page with messages of love and celebration, praising her strength and journey both on and off the track.
