Tima Godbless has officially arrived on the world stage. The Nigerian sprint sensation delivered the performance of her life at the NCAA East Regionals, clocking a jaw dropping 10.91s (1.2) in the women’s 100m to set a new Personal Best, a Facility Record, and the current World Lead for 2025.

The crowd roared as she crossed the line, a powerful statement from a young woman who continues to exceed expectations.
Her progression in the 100m this year has been nothing short of phenomenal. Starting her season with 11.20s, Tima quickly brought that down to 11.14s, then lowered it again to 11.06s all building up to this historic 10.91s performance. Born in Bayelsa State and hailing from Ekeremor Local Government Area, Tima has been on a relentless rise, sharpening her speed, race strategy, and confidence with each outing. Her consistent improvement is a prove to her dedication and elite potential.
Beyond the NCAA scene, Tima Godbless has now officially qualified for the World Athletics Championships in both the 100m and 200m, making her one of the few Nigerian women to hit that double qualification in recent times. With the global season heating up and her form peaking, she’s not just a collegiate star she’s a Nigerian heroine flying the green and white boldly on the world stage. The road to greatness is open, and Tima is sprinting through it at full throttle.
