Interesting! I think Chidi imoh has ran below 10 secs.

The problem though is that although Nigerians have not gotten slower.....the Americans & Caribbeans have gotten faster by about 0.6 seconds and also the Nigerian athletes are not consistent. Peter Emelieze & Obinna Metu had no business running the times that they ran in the heats.

Interesting! I think Chidi imoh has ran below 10 secs.

Officially Chidi Imoh's fastest time according to IAAF is 10 flat in 1986

the thing ifind funny is that Nigerians hold the 100m record for three continental zones in the mens and yet we are struggling to get a man in the whole of nigeria capable of running 10:10 consistently talkless of under 10

Fasuba's time was strange. He was a world class 60m sprinter but was never a great 100m runner. I dont believe he ever made a major 100m final. Ogunkoya was genuinely fast. He even beat a prime Frankie Fredericks at the All African games that time was set at Altitude in Johannesburg where everyone was running unusually quick times. The golden age of Nigerian mens sprinting was between 91 & 93 with the Ezinwas , Adeniken and Daniel Effiong all active. Sadly -with the exception of Adeniken- all of those guys ended up being banned for drug offences.
