Biography

Udodi Chudi Onwuzurike, born on January 29, 2003, is a prominent Nigerian sprinter who specialises in the 200 metres and 100 metres events. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Onwuzurike represents Nigeria internationally and has made significant strides in his athletic career.

Onwuzurike first gained international attention when he clinched the gold medal in the 200m at the 2021 World Athletics U20 Championships in Nairobi. His impressive performance at the championship established him as a rising star in the sprinting world. He later went on to win a bronze medal in the 4x100m relay at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Competing collegiately for Stanford University, Onwuzurike set several records, including a personal best of 19.76 seconds in the 200m and 9.92 seconds in the 100m, both achieved in 2023. These times place him among Nigeria’s fastest sprinters of all time.

In 2023, Onwuzurike turned professional, signing with Adidas and forgoing his remaining NCAA eligibility. He continued to perform exceptionally well, securing his qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics by clocking 20.13 seconds in the 200m at the Pure Athletics Spring Invitational in Florida (Wikipedia) (Paris 2024 Olympics) (BOUNCE) (Latest Sports News In Nigeria).
