Blessing delivers! |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 7:31pm On Aug 03, 2012 |

| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by ujchief(m): 7:31pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
Gloria Asomnu took 3rd in heat 3 and qualified, good race, she started good, was second to campbell on 5o mtrs, but got overtaken by ivet. Okagbare finished 1st and qualified. |

Yes,yes,yes blessing on point |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by omega25red(m): 7:33pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
wow Blessing can run men. |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 7:34pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
African record is going to be smashed in the semi-final. This Blessing is a real blessing for Nigeria |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by proudly9ja(m): 7:39pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
Its now confirmed that they are running on fast tracks! Blessing was relaxed yet was able to do a personal best. I agree with Olapluto, the African record would be broken either in the semis or finals. With the way the track is delivering, I wonder what would happen to the men's world record |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 7:52pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
The time run by Damola Osayomi in the next heat will go a long way in determining the fate of our 4x100 relay team. I hope Damola can run around 11.20 |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 7:59pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
OK. Damola not so fit. 11.36 and she's out of the 100m. She can run the relay qualifiers but not the main race. I think Christy Udoh should take Damola's space. Damola is a star, but her training has been skewed by over-preparation. She pushed herself too hard. |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by akintun: 8:05pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
Blessing was the second most impressive athlete after jeter. She slowed down with 40 meters to go. |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by proudly9ja(m): 8:12pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
The women don't seem to have a dominant athlete in the 100m. We might just sneak a medal (or two  ) |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 8:18pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
proudly9ja: The women don't seem to have a dominant athlete in the 100m. We might just sneak a medal (or twoI think it will be tough for Gloria Asumnu to enter the final. But Blessing will win her semi-final tomorrow evening and win a medal. |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by fredoooooo: 8:20pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
blessing remind me of mary onyali anytime i see her run ......  |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by fredoooooo: 8:22pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
only God knows how many nigerians participate in this olympic for another countires ..... |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by proudly9ja(m): 8:35pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
ola_pluto: True @Gloria...just hoping..  |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by akintun: 8:44pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
Blessing competes against d best athletes better tha onyali. Onyali would surely make d finals without actually competing 4 a medal, but blessing is d real deal. She can go all d way with a good start. |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by chic2pimp(m): 8:58pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
If there was any doubt before, now there can be no doubt....This London Track is definitely fasttttttttttttt ........Jeter runs a 10.83 without any much effort. Girls are running 10.9s without putting much effort into it. Bloody Hell! As I predicted I see all the three women medallist(or possibly more) running 10.7s or there abouts. Lastly Blessing really Impressed me I must say. I definitely see her Medalling If she carries on this rich vein of form. |

Seeing Dibaba winning makes me fear 4 Blessing. We were all expecting Cheruiyot to give to her a tough time, but she destroyed d field at d right time. Jeter and co are proven champions, and dey can turn on d heat at d right time. I just hope she would be ready. Blessing too has proven dat she has d ability to step up. She is in d toughest semi- final with Madison, Ahoure, and Stewart |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 11:41pm On Aug 03, 2012 |
Blessing surely in toughest heat. She's favourite to win the heat. If all goes well, I expect Ahoure to also qualify as well as Madison. Which means Keron Stewart will not make the final. It will be fast tomorrow! |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by olapluto(m): 12:12am On Aug 04, 2012 |
Amaechi Morton is not injured. Good news. He says the hurdle he hit made him lose momemtum, he is fine and ready for tomorrow. I expect Amaechi to go into the final at least. |
| Re: Nigeria Olympic Thread...to Be Updated Regularly by akintun: 1:05am On Aug 04, 2012 |
I think d fight 4 d last place in d final would be btw Allyson Felix and stewart. Stewart did not look good. D jamacian tracks were some of dis girls ran fast times at d beginning of d year and at their national champ is a very fast track and d times run there can be mis- leading. |

video of women's 100m heats: just click the progress bar at bottom of video at the appropriate place to see the heats. The BBC also interviews Blessing after her race. If Blessing is not already married, I can bet you that many young men would be breaking down her fathers door to ask for her hand in marriage grin http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w30j3 |

GenBuhari: video of women's 100m heats: This is what I get when I click on the link. Any other link?

You cannot get BBC online videos outside d UK. Try YouTube/Olympics. |

The defending Olympic champion Lashawn Merritt has out of the Mens 400M. He has not recovered sufficiently enough from his hamstring injury it seems. Tbh I'm absolutely delighted that he failed to make it. Really don't want another Drugs Cheat winning the Olympic Gold Medal or Medal of any colour for that Manner and ruining the Good name of athletics once again. Up next to be eliminated hpefully is Justin Gatlin and Dwain Chambers. And then every other Drugs cheat that has been allowed to participate by both the CAS courts and their home Olympic organisation |

The Golden Girl and face of this Olympics is well on her way to winning the Gold Medal. C'mon Jess! Hopefully Jessica Ennis wins it. She has taken a commanding lead and it would be a big shame If she throws it all away now. |
