The lady that ran the third leg put us at a huge disadvantage. Either that or the last leg lady took off way too early.

i think she took off early

Kai, Naija is slacking as a country. See even Ukraine dem dey beat us. For the men, see China and Japan for final, and we are nowhere. meanwhile vagabonds in Nigeria are competing in chopping money

kai...Japan don beat Yankee.

After watching this race, I am now convinced that some of our athletes want to Rio intent on embarrassing Nigeria. None, and I repeat, none of our track and field athletes managed to improve on his or her qualifying time. As for Blessing Okagbare, I thank her for her services but God knows she could have shown a little more heart


Cheers

O boy, that excuse is getting old. Kenya's sports ministry isn't that much better than Nigeria's but we know what Kenya has done in long distance track over the years and now, the current javelin world chat is a Kenyan who taught himself the javelin throw by watching javelin throwers on the internet. He will probably win a gold medal while his Nigerian counterparts are finishing dead last in their heats and blaming the sports ministry. Abeg nonsense. I don taya, jo


Cheers.

I beg thank u jo. Sure Ethiopia is nothing to write about either. They should b able to rise above those mediocre standards and setbacks. I mean, da soccer team did not let that stop them from reaching the semis. This is a forgettable games.

I have no complaints whatsoever about the results of our Olympics participants and it's disingenuous to sit behind a computer and just lament that the participants went to Olympics to disgrace Nigeria. I'm. Sorry they represented and did their best. If you want medals then you develop the sport. If you are angry about our medal count so far then get galvanised to make a change
Don't just come here every 4 yrs to claim Nigeria got disgraced. That is your own insecurity perhaps buoyed by the lack of opportunity to brag to your friends from other countries. For me these athletes are patriots who gave their best in a tournament where giving your best is celebrated not scorned. I say Thank you to those who decided to Don the jerseys for A nation that does not invest in them. Please don't say Ethiopia or Kenya because if they are successful despite disorganisation it doesn't mean we should accept disorganisation. God bless ALL the athletes jare.

A few Nigerian athletes made the semis and in fact the subjects of this thread made it to the finals but just met a field of better athletes . It's easy to lambasted the athletes but I would say by reaching the finals they gave their best but it wasn't good enough. Ergo we were not good enough to medal...but good enough to be top 8 in the world of female relays

Kpondo ... We were carrying firewood running here and there.

CE no get athletes? Or na only to make mouth? No so medals dey easy?

You guys underestimate the impact of the change of government and the slowness in appropriating and releasing of funds. You need to listen to some if not all of the athletes to hear about their tale of woe.

The Olympics is simply another reflection of how things are in Naijaria.

You reap exactly what you sow. No amount of prayers and wishing for medals will make it happen.

Cellular The way we used to win medals previously was to bring together our elites athletes and get them train under boxing coaches from Cuba and weight lifting coaches from Easter Europe. Tell me what happened to all the ones we used money to train in the past? Where is there boxing gym? Where is there athletics club? We love to blame government we need to look within ourselves

It seems that any Nigerian athlete who shows any promise immediately defects to another country
