The African Games action continued on the third day at the University of Ghana Stadium as Kenya and Nigeria collected four golds in one day.
Nigerian sprint star Tobi Amusan grabbed two golds in the day to become only eighth woman to have four African Games titles in history. The world record holder took 100 metres hurdles final as expected, then concluded the day for medal-snatching anchor leg in the 4x100 metres relay. Amusan empowered Nigerian quartet who clocked 43.05 in the relay and missing Games record by 0.01 second. She also extended Nigerian win streak in the sprint hurdles to 12th consecutive Games dated back to 1973.
Nigeria regained men's 4x100 metres title in 13 years by defeating arch-rivals Ghana in front of partizan crowd. Usheoritse Itsekiri has pushed so hard to retain lead in the final stretch and narrowly saved the gold from the Ghana.
In the both relays, Liberia accompanied to Nigeria and Ghana on the podium. Their "mostly" US-based sprinting teams secured silver for women and bronze for men race.
Kenya was back at the track after two days without winning. The athletics powerhouse claimed victories in men's 800 metres, women's 400 metres, steeplechase and race walking. World 800 metres champion Mary Moraa clinched 400 metres title in Accra by clocking 50.57 and become first Kenyan winner at the event since 1987.
Another world champion was also in action for day three. Burkina Faso's Hugues Fabrice Zango retained his crown in triple jump, however he didn't manage to break 37-year-old games record.
