True. But that's Bangladesh. Little consolation. Arrggggghh!!!phantomjournalist wrote:Bangladesh is the largest country to never win an olympic medal. They have as many people as Nigeria (bout 150 mill) and they have never even medalled in any Olympics ever.

well knowing us...we will probably F^^ up their training.
Unless we start bribing top athletes with money to switch allegiances.
We should have given Phelps $40 Million to become a Nigerian citizen.

Why the hell did they start off at 160kg??? Na the coach cause this failure.......talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Usman gamble fails to yield medal
China’s Zhou Lulu won the women’s Olympic over-75kg weightlifting gold with a new world record on Sunday, but insisted the Games had not been a success for Chinese lifters as Maryam Usman, who was third after the snatch, failed to register any lift in the clean and jerk.
World champion Zhou set a new record of 333kg, breaking her old mark from last year’s world championships of 328kg.
She also matched South Korean Jang Mi-Ran’s world marker of 187kg in the clean and jerk.
In a stunning competition, European champion Tatiana Kashirina of Russia set a new snatch world record of 151kg as she missed out on gold by just one kilo.
Hripsime Khurshudyan of Armenia claimed bronze with a total lift of 294kg.
The pictures below tell the unfolding story of Maryam's Olympics.
Behind the top two, Beijing champion Jang found herself in a battle for bronze with Khurshudyan, in no small part due to Maryam Usman of Nigeria, who was third after the snatch, failing to register any lift in the clean and jerk, three times finding 160kg beyond her means.
Usman had lifted a personal best 129kg in the snatch and the attempted 160kg in the clean and jerk would have been another personal best.
Khurshudyan had lifted 3kg more than Jang in the snatch and after lifting 166kg in the clean and jerk, the Korean would have needed to hoist 170kg to take bronze.
The four-time world champion could not manage it and Armenia had their first medal of the competition.

What is Nigeria contributing to the world other than just been consumers?
