Maduaka finished third behind
Catherine Murphy in the 200 metres event at the
1995 AAA Championships but it was not until 1998 that she returned to the podium becoming the
British 100 metres champion after winning the British
AAA Championships title at the
1998 AAA Championships. Later that September, she represented
England and won a bronze medal in the 4 x 100 metres relay event, at the
1998 Commonwealth Games in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 1999, Maduaka won both the 100 and 200 titles at the
1999 AAA Championships. This led to selection for the
Great Britain team in the
2000 Summer Olympics. Maduaka regained the 100 metres AAA title in 2002, followed by a second Commonwealth Games appearance when she was selected to represent
England at the
2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, which resulted in a second bronze medal in the 4 x 100 metres relay. Another 100 metres AAA title was added in 2003 and the 200 metres title in 2004. There was a general improvement in the overall standard of women's sprinting in
Britain and Maduaka was faced with domestic challenges from athletes such as
Abi Oyepitan. In 2006, Maduaka was not selected for the
Commonwealth Games, but instead ran in the
World Indoor Athletics Championships. During 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 and became the British champion again, over 100 m and 200 m at the
2006 AAA Championships, beating her opposition by a considerable margin. 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 British Athletics Championships she failed to defend her 100 m crown, finishing third behind
Jeanette Kwakye, and also had to pull out of the final of the 200 m, despite winning her heat very convincingly, due to illness. The 200 m was also won by Kwakye. 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. 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. However, Turner went on to achieve the A standard for the 100 m, meaning that GBR were permitted another athlete in the event. The committee chose Kwakye, and then replaced her in the 200 m with
Emily Freeman. ==Controversy==
