Diamond Bank employee and international
marathoner, Esther Obiekwe has withdrawn from the Olympic marathon scheduled to
take place on Sunday, August 5 as a result of training injury in London.
Also known as the “Running banker”
Obiekwe said “I am heartbroken, but I realize these incidents can happen,
particularly when training in darkness in new surroundings. I severely twisted
my ankle on the 25th of July when jumping off an elevated curb and now my knee
and ankle hurts and cannot take the impact of running”.
In tears, Obiekwe said she is taking the decision to
protect the interest of her country. “Given my times relative to the Olympic
field, it is crucial I step to the starting line at peak fitness, so I
represent my country with pride and honour. I now recognise I am unable to
ensure this. It would be selfish of me to insist on participation in this
physical condition for 42 kilometers. I have always said that the name on the
front of my team uniform (Nigeria) is more important than the name on the back
(Obiekwe)”. She said
A respectable impetigo remediation e'er involves a skin rash, coating of antibiotic ointments or creams is the best way to upgrade faster healing.
