those Jamaican!!! and the country is smaller than the average naija city. they are less than 2 mil people there it must be the hemp that they smoke or perhaps the dreadlocks hair. understand that they are as spirited as hell, cant put them down. |

No doubt~ Naija has disgraced me in the Athletics! Even that babe wey I think say go do me proud don mess up! Na wa ooo! ![]() ![]() |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by Nobody: 4:16am On Aug 18, 2008 |
jassie: they didnt disgrace me, they simply did what i expected them to do - win nothing . . . and then blame lack of funds as usual. We'll be "back to the drawing board" again hoping to plan to fail in London 2012. |

Its not an excuse David, even the Dream Team IV has complained about a lack of jerseys to train with. The government has been stupid with its organisation and preparations as usual - anything athletes from Nigeria win has always been IN SPITE of shoddy preparations not because the preparation was good. Jamaica is small, but is dedicated to training and developing talent - they focus on what they are good at and excel, Nigeria doesn't and we reap the fruits. Government officials prefer their estacode and deals than proper camping and preparation of athletes. How do you expect them to beat people who have been training and preparing for 4 years?? Talent and raw determination can only take you so far, and it obviously wasn't far enough in these games. |

Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by MrCrackles(m): 8:51am On Aug 18, 2008 |
KarmaMod: absolutely shambolic next time if they dont prepare well, they should save themselves and the nation embarrassment! and the athletics federation in Nigeria should be disbanded, they are just useless! |

If only the Olympic Games could be rigged, our administrators would have known what to do in Beijing. |

Why has no one given a mention to Naija's Christine Ohurogu's gold medal in the 400m. Outstanding race she ran jo. I expect another gold for Nigerian in the Triple Jump where Phillips Idowu is favourite. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by Nobody: 6:01pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
Condom: He isnt American, he isnt white. No white or asian has ever run the 100m in less than 10seconds. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by Mustay(m): 7:47pm On Aug 19, 2008 |
The british have made enough publicity about Christine. |

yesterday, Damola Osayomi, who had said she would not compete in the 200 metres because she wanted to concentrate on the relays, changed her mind at the last minute to compete in the race. But her decision did not change Nigeria's fortunes as she failed to make the semifinals. She won the early rounds but crashed out in the second round. Gloria Kemasuede, who also competed in the event, did not advance beyond the early rounds. Similarly, Goddy James and Saul Weipogwa crashed out in the semifinal of the men's 400 metres early yesterday. In the men's 110 metres hurdles, Selim Nurudeen also could not advance beyond the second round. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by MrCrackles(m): 11:15am On Aug 20, 2008 |
Mustay: Is it surprising they are all crashing and crumbling?! when you have a stupid imcompetent olympic committee and sports federation who only lay emphasis on venue tourism rather than preparedness, organisation and planning, what you get is a disastrous showing! I don't put all the blame on the athletes!They have the abilities and are capable of performing only if they got enough support and motivation. I have a friend who represented Britain in the high Jump yesterday, Germaine Mason (who switched allegiance from Jamaica a few years ago) and i know when this dude has been preparing plus all the support he recieved from the British Olympics Committee. You could put money on him winning a medal because he was ready. Our own athletes were busy fighting for money and communication was none-existent about keeping them all together and informed! It is a shame, and yet Mr President opened his loud mouth to ask for 8Gold Medals?! E EASY!!! ![]() |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by bwapretty: 3:42pm On Aug 20, 2008 |
more gold for the Jamaicans. 200M 400M hurdles. now that the Americans can't get to use drugs the real force in Athletics is shining through. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by crazylegs(m): 3:50pm On Aug 20, 2008 |
When do the relays come up? We tend to manage at least a couple of medals. even an additional bronze would be appreciated **Newsflash** Usain Bolt has broken the 200m world record. The guy is less than 23 and he's already in legend territory. Na wa oh. PHE-NO-ME-NON!! This year there are TWO REAL of heros: Phelps and Bolt. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by mukina2: 4:16pm On Aug 20, 2008 |
Usain Bolt! ![]() damn this boy . .record breaker ![]() I really wanted that Zimbabwe guy to win something ![]() 400m huddles . Jamaica again ![]() Kenyans haaaaa ![]() |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Athletics by MrCrackles(m): 5:14pm On Aug 20, 2008 |
mukina2: Bolt absolutely decimated every other athletes and the iceing on the cake is the, fact that he did it so effortlessly!pure class |
