Commonwealth Games women's Long Jump champion, Ese Brume on Tuesday claimed a bronze medal in the event at the Palio Città Della Quercia meet in Rovereto, Italy.

It was Brume's first action back on the field since reclaiming the Commonwealth Games title in Birmingham.

After two attempts, the Nigerian had placed second place, jumping 6.37metres.

But that was not to earn Brume a silver medal as she finished 3rd in the contest, jumping a mark of 6.53metres on her 5th attempt. 

Her 6.53 metres jump was far from her record-breaking 7.00metres jump at the last Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where she won a Gold medal.

Former European U20 long jump champion and Serbian Mili a Gardasevic won the event, as she leapt a mark of 6.78m, while Jasmine Sawyers of England jumped 6.73m to secure the 2nd spot.
