Career
2006
As women"s sprinting in Britain began to develop again, Maduaka was faced with domestic challenges from athletes such as Abi Oyepitan. In late 2006, she burst back onto the scene, setting new personal bests. She went on to represent Great Britain at the 2006 European Championships in Athletics, finishing 4th in the final of the 100 m and finishing 2nd in the 4 x 100 m relay.
At the end of the year Maduaka was ranked as the fastest British athlete over 100 m and the second fastest over 200 m.
At the 2007 European Cup first division, Maduaka finished 2nd in the individual 100 m, 1st in the 200 m and anchored the British team home to first place in the relay, winning 23 points altogether, for her team This is the most any British athlete has ever done for their country at these championships.
Joice Maduaka was later chosen to represent her country at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics. She was excluded from the 100 m list, as Montell Douglas was the only British athlete who had obtained the A-standard whilst, Laura Turner had been selected as an improving athlete.
Maduaka and Jeanette Kwakye were to be the only British representatives in the 200 m.
The committee chose Kwakye, and then replaced her in the 200 m with Emily Freeman. In late 2006 Maduaka and the rest of the British Women"s Relay Team, represented the Europe team at the 2006 World Athletics Cup. However, the officials had placed the Europe team and the United States of America team in the wrong lanes, so when it came to pass the baton, they would have been passing them to the opposition.
Team United States of America passed the batons, but team GBR (Europe) were unsure, but in the end did make a change.
Both teams finished. United States of America was disqualified, but Europe wasn"t. The race was not rerun, despite being rescheduled.
