Biography

Her family is originally from Nigeria, but since 2004 Ayomide has settled with her parents, mother Mariam and father Emmanuel, a mining geologist, in Fidenza. She failed to wear the azzurro at the 2013 World Youth Championships in Athletics despite having obtained the minimum in five specialties, because she received her Italian passport a few days after the world championship,[3] therefore she is member of the Italy national athletics team.

gollark: They aren't exactly "the people", government incentives are not always correctly aligned.
gollark: They don't in general, but that doesn't mean I can't agree with some government actions.
gollark: … people spreading it and causing exponential growth if unchecked?
gollark: The Australian government seems to be one of the ones handling it well, in my opinion. Very low deaths/cases.
gollark: We have seen that tiny things like tens of thousands of extra deaths do not cause bureaucracies to run any faster.
