Nigerian sprinter Blessing Okagbare has described this afternoon's 100m heat at the Commonwealth Games as "really easy".
The 25-year-old cruised to victory in her heat ahead of England's Asha Philip exactly a year after setting a new African record of 10.79 seconds at the London Anniversary Games.
Today's time of 11.20 seconds was the fastest of qualification ahead of the Jamaican trio of Schillonie Calvert, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Kerron Stewart.
Speaking to reporters after the race, Okagbare said: "It was good, it was kind of easy. I just wanted to secure the first part of my race. After 50m, I just chilled. It was really easy for me."
Okagbare has also entered the 200m, 4x100m and long jump - an event in which she won Olympic bronze six years ago - in Glasgow.
