Commonwealth long jump champion Ese Brume will finally make her 2023 season's debut in the 4x100m at the Texas Relays this weekend.
Brume has been entered to compete in the women's 4x100m relay invitational under Athletics Texas. Her relay partners are Annie Tagoe, Nigerian international Haisha Bisiolu, and British international and fellow jumper Lorraine Ugen.

It will be Brume's first meet since winning the 2022 Commonwealth's long jump title in a Games Record of 7.00m.
Brume in the 2022 season
The long jumper prove why she is the most consistent medal-winning Nigerian athlete in the past few years.
She was Nigeria’s only medallist at the World Indoor Championship in Belgrade, where she leaped to a Season's Best (SB) of 6.85m to win the Silver medal. Doing this, she became the country’s first World Indoor medallist in fourteen years, since Olusoji Fasuba last won the 60m title in 2008.
)
At the World Outdoor Championships in Oregon, she added another shining silver medal with a brilliant SB of 7.02m in the final.
Consequently, she made history as the first African (male or female) to win two long jump medals at the World Championships - in addition to her Bronze medal from Doha 2019.

Furthermore, she’s the second Nigerian and African woman after Blessing Okagbare to make the events podium at the championship.
Brume capped off her exceptional season at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, as her last leap in six-jump attempts took down the previous Games Record (GR) of 6.99m with a new 7.00m to regain her Commonwealth title from 2014.
In 2022, she became the first African woman to jump four legal marks over 7.00m. She hit the 7m twice, jumping 7.02m to finish second in Oregon and her victorious GR mark in Birmingham.
