Nigeria has more black people than all of these countries combined! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin If the administrators in Nigeria think like you it is no wonder shocked shocked shocked shocked grin grin grin grin grin grin

But Nigerians are more into education than sports. African Americans on the other hand are more into sports than education..

South Africa invests loads of money in sports, yet they hardly win medals in track and fields...

Nigeria needs development and infrastructures right now - sports can take the back seat like Rosa Parks (no pun intended). undecided undecided

This is the problem with Nigeria I believe. You officially have 170 million people but, the country functions like a 85 million people country! The Boko parts of the country don't care about sports and they are not found on any of your teams from football to basketball, to track and field.

Yes, there is no point in sending 200 average athletes because, the Olympics is for world class athletes and that is why Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa together(over 300 million people) won less medals than Jamaica(2 million people) in recent years!!

That is why I said it takes heavy investment and finding the talent early on.

If you train your athletes like the Chinese you will win a lot eventually!!!

If you want to judge based on population, then China and India should sweep the medals... grin

China's population is like 4 times the population of USA - they shouldn't be rivals if we're to judge based on population.. undecided

Kenyans are just naturally good at long distance races, it has nothing to do with investments..

Invest from now till eternity, you still won't win against those Jamaicans and Yankz..

You need their undetectable steroids supplier.. grin

If you think those sprinters are 100% clean, you must definitely be from another planet.
grin

shymmex: Ben Johnson with all his steroids rage couldn't run the 100m at sub 9.70, but Usain Bolt did it at 9.58.. shocked

Haters man. tongue

Not all countries send representatives just to wave the flags. lipsrsealed grin
Some us are natural born competitors!! cool

Got nothing to do with genetics but everything to do with our training and our diet!! cheesy

SmoothCrim: Lets be honest, East Africa will get 80 percent of the African medals. West African countries could dominate the Olympics if investment was done properly but, in all likelihood all of West Africa together will get less Medals than Kenya grin grin grin grin grin. In the end Kenya and Ethiopia will be coming home with most of the medals in Africa!!

We are a tiny island of 3 million. There are more jamos outside than on the soil. Even then, Americas population more than triples ours. Our boys destroying them in racing was an embarassment. America does not like to lose so rest assured they would have EVERY SINGLE JAMO tested...in fact in 08 They tested my man (Bolt) twice!!

Negatiiiiiiiiive!

So dont hate! cool

Aren't you American? You refer to America as if it is a foreign nation!

In the Olympics, we claim our fatherland.

I'm behind Nigeria 100%. If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose.
