Athletics career
At the 2024 Summer Paralympics, Okoh competed in the women's 100 m T63, which took place on 7 September 2024. At Heat 1, she finished in third place, behind Monica Contrafatto and Ambra Sabatini, with all three advancing to the final.[3] In the final, Okoh finished 3rd and was one of two women awarded bronze medals were after an appeal by Monica Contrafatto when her fellow Italian competitor Ambra Sabatini fell outside of her lane just before the finish line and tripped Contrafatto during the fall.[4] Contrafatto's time was recorded while she was falling forward at the finish line because of the trip. Okoh crossed the finish line just before Contrafatto, resulting in a minor time difference between the two bronze medalists.[5][6]
Okoh competed at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships, where she won the bronze medal in the 100 m T63.[7]
