Sunday Bada
Born (1969-06-22 ) 22 June 1969Kaduna , Nigeria Died 12 December 2011(2011-12-12) (aged 42 )
Sunday Bada (22 June 1969 – 12 December 2011) was a Nigerian sprinter who specialized in the 400 metres event. He won three medals at the World Indoor Championships , including a gold medal in 1997. His personal best time was 44.63 seconds, and with 45.51 seconds indoor he holds the African indoor record . He set a national record in the 4 x 400 metres relay at the 2000 Olympics , where the Nigerian team also won gold medals after the disqualification of the US team who had finished first.
Early career [ edit ]
Bada was born in Kaduna to parents from Ogidi , Kogi State.[1] He broke through at the regional level in 1990, with bronze medals in both 200 and 400 metres at the 1990 African Championships .[2] The next year, at the 1991 All-Africa Games , he won a silver in the 400 metres.[3] He competed without reaching the final in the 400 metres of the 1992 Olympics, but in the 4 x 400 metres relay he managed to finish fifth with the Nigerian team.[1] The same year he broke the 45-second barrier by running the 400 m in 44.99 seconds, in September in Havana .[4] This happened at the 1992 IAAF World Cup , an event he won.[5]
Bada became Nigerian 400 metres champion in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2001.[6] He also participated in, and won, the Indian championships in 1994.[7]
World championships [ edit ]
Bada made his definite breakthrough in 1993, when he won the silver medal at the World Indoor Championships . In the same year he finished fifth at the 1993 World Championships .[4] In the World Championships final he clocked in 44.63 seconds, the second fastest time ever by a Nigerian sprinter, after Innocent Egbunike 's 44.17 s.[8]
In 1994 he added almost a second to his season's best, running in 45.55 seconds in Monaco .[4] The season highlight was a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games .[9] In 1995, however, he gained his second silver medal at the World Indoor Championships whereas at the World Championships he finished eighth.[4] In the 1995 World Championships relay he won a bronze medal together with teammates Udeme Ekpeyong , Kunle Adejuyigbe and Jude Monye .[10] Finally, at the All-Africa Games he won the 200 metres and took the 400 m silver.[3] He ran 44.83 seconds as a season's best in 1995; then 44.88 in 1996.[4] At the 1996 Olympics he reached the final in neither 400 nor the relay .[1] In the 1996–97 indoor season he achieved his best result with a gold medal at the World Indoor Championships .[4] He ran in 45.51 seconds, a life best performance indoor, and also the African indoor record for the event.[11]
However, Bada just barely managed to improve this time during the outdoor season, with 45.37 seconds, and would never run a sub-45 race again. In individual competitions he was successively eliminated before the final of the 1997 World Championships , the 1999 World Indoor Championships , the 1999 World Championships , the 2000 Olympic Games , the 2001 World Indoor Championships and 2001 World Championships .[4] A highlight in these years was the 4 x 400 m relay at the 2000 Olympics , where the Nigerian team won silver medals, later upgraded to gold after the disqualification of the US.[12] Nigeria also established a national record time of 2:58.68 minutes.[13]
Post-active career [ edit ]
Bada retired following the 2001 season.[4] After his active career Bada was the technical director of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria . He died in December 2011 at the National Stadium, Lagos .[14]
