Nigeria finish 2nd Olympics in a row without a Medal

Post by ChrisMoC »

Fans have been left disappointed about the Rio Olympics when at the end of Day 8 of Athletics, it dawned on everybody that for the second successive Games, Nigeria does not have a medal to show for participating in Track and field events.

We did not plan nor prepare to win a medal. You dont win medals with one month preparation!

I love how we fans have been paying attention to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal over the past 4 yrs now express surprise that Nigeria is doing poorly in the medal count

We will all forget the Olympics until 2020 where we will be lamenting the same and in extreme cases saying the patriots representing us are disgracing us
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

The post itself is correct, it is just the title that doesn't ring true.

In Track & Field we did not medal, as he said. Maybe he shorted to title to fit...and in so doing, created some confusion.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

We went to participate. Arsenal always participate in CL with no plan of winning! It is all about the experience.
