Putting God first

Yemisi Ogunleye

Christian shot putter Yemisi Ogunleye has credited her silver medal at the World Athletics Championship 2024 to her faith in God. She achieved a personal best of 20.19 metres, within three centimetres of becoming world champion.

Ogunleye’s victory comes at a good time, with preparations underway ahead of competing at the upcoming European Championships and Paris Olympic Games this summer.

However, despite winning silver in Glasgow, adding to her first-placed finish at the National Indoor Championships in February and two silver medals won last year, she spoke about why her faith in God helps her more than winning any medal ever could.
