Francis Obiorah Obikwelu, GOIH (born 22 November 1978) is a retired Nigerian-born Portuguese sprinter, who specialized in 100 metres and 200 metres. He was the 2004 Olympic silver medalist in the 100 metres. In the same race, he set the European record in the event at 9.86 seconds, which stood for nearly 17 years.
Despite his credentials as Olympic silver medallist in the 100, Obikwelu acknowledged that his victory over the longer dash meant even more than his 9.99 100 metre victory on Tuesday night. “It’s been a very long time since I’ve run well in the 200,” he said.
