According to a report by Punch, Nigeria’s sprinter and 5-time African Junior Champion, Ejowvokoghene Oduduru, on Tuesday, kept the country’s hope of a medal in athletics at the Rio Olympics alive after qualifying for the semifinals in the men’s 200m event. The 19-year-old clocked 20.34sec behind Usain Bolt who won in 20.28s. The young sprinter has promised to make the country proud by beating Jamaican superstar, who holds the record in both 100m and 200m respectively. Bolt took another step in his quest for an unprecedented sprint “triple triple” when he safely negotiated the first round of the 200m. Bolt won a third successive 100m title on Sunday to set up his bid to repeat his haul of three gold medals in the 100, 200 and 4x100m relay at both the Beijing and London Olympics in 2008 and 2012 respectively.

One secret of Usain bolt success is this : He makes use of the long strides and quick strides and for you to beat him, you must first find answers to his long and quick strides. standing over 6 ft tall, you can't fathom what those legs of his can do. When he starts a race poorly he makes use of his quick strides and outrun his opponents with his long strides. One interesting thing about him is that he knows exactly when and how to make use of the quick and long strides. And do you know he suffers from scoliosis ( a condition where the spine is curvy). A scoliosis patient suffers from excruciating pain due to the abnormality in the spine, exo-skeletal muscles and hips. As it stands no athlete has the answers to his dominance in athletics. he throws in the towel next year 2017. At least that should comfort his rivals. He is the most tested athlete in the world and he is certified clean and okay. I hope all those athlete who indulge in drugs will take a clue from Lightening bolt. For those girls of ours who failed their drug test, which level??. with all the drugs, na distant 4th una carry. Hardwork and preserverance pay. A RAW PROMISING TALENT WHO UNDERGOES A RIGOROUS PROCESS WILL BE A FULFILLED PRODUCT. NO SHORT CUT TO SUCCESS, YOU ONLY CUT SHORT YOUR SUCCESS. PEACE. 4 Likes |

Great work by the Nigerian, I'm glad he has come this far. With Yohan Blake, De Grasse, Usain Bolt, Justin Gatlin, CJ Ujah and co still in the competition, does our own Oduduru stand a chance of getting any medal? errr I hope so, nothing is impossible. Lastmumu |
