That's true. There are easier sports where EASY medals could be won. We get boys wey fit do SHOOTING na. We get enough wey fit do kayak but na our administrators no get foresight. Boxing used to be our medal hope, now we no know which one we sure for. |

bolt has definitely tightened his grip on the sprinting department. The guy just nailed his round 2 heat so effortlessly even managing to jog after 60 or so metres with an impressive 9.92 secs. can't wait for the eagerly awaited finals. bolt surely is going to bring home gold (might even break the world record), Tyson might just need to concentrate on getting bronze as powell seems up for the task ahead as well (fingers crossed he doesn't panic once again) |

jay bee: that Usain Bolt guy is definitely a cheetah! i kinna like his work ethic, nutritional diet and training regime tho i was reading all that in the FHM a couple weeks back! |

halelujah, even Zimbabwe now has a gold medal. Shame on Nigeria. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by Mustay(m): 7:22am On Aug 16, 2008 |
Am still waiting for the 8 medals. Maybe a tournament win by the eagles will equal 18 gold medals for each members |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by mukina2: 8:51pm On Aug 16, 2008 |
Zimbabwe has 4 medals now and my home has 6 all made of quality paper |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by DrKitaun(m): 8:45pm On Aug 17, 2008 |
@Mustay atimes when u yap, I feel like wringing your neck imagine u quoting Obisia Nwakpa saying Nigeria is 10 years backwards in Boxing ? isnt he the National Coach ? when he knew he couldnt deliver why didnt he just tell Yaradua that as per Boxing o . . .that hin 8 gold medals na long thing, say our Boxing dey tatters how is any sane mind supposed to take Obisia serious in this jet age ? someone who barely read Primary 6 ? who told u that all successful athletes or sportspersons cut it as analysts or as coaches ? let Obisia Nwakpa shut up else he will be mobbed when he comes back home MADMAN ! |

@ Dr the guy talk small truth dere now, Have you forgotten how those boxers got to Beijing? |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by DrKitaun(m): 5:22pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
which boxers ? those useless twats made to look good with fake gloves |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by Akolawole(m): 5:59pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
@Doctor I wonder for such comments. Unknown to many, Nigeria government spend like mad on this preparation. If we messed up, the Coaches and the Athleths has to be blamed. Frankie Fredricks foot the bill and fully prepare himself for tournaments and many athletes like that. |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by Mustay(m): 7:51pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
When did fred start footing his bills? In a country where unemployment is rife, how many athletes can sponsor their training? This stuff ain't easy. Before the Olympics, Fasuba had said he received 'invitations' to change citizenship. Buying airline tickets, getting accreditation et al ain't the effing business of athletes. These jobs can be delegated to ensure specialization if not for the selfish interests of the 'administrators' who know zilch about sports; not to talk of SPORTS ADMINISTRATION. |

Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by DrKitaun(m): 11:55pm On Aug 18, 2008 |
Mustay: MUSTAFA . . .where u dey stay sef ? na Adesoye abi na Sunmola ? what exactly is ur point Nwakpa tutored the worst set of boxers in the history of our boxing annals, and here u are yapping Sports administration bla bla . . .do u know how much was expended on our athletes for Yaradua to be demanding for 8 gold medals ? did the stupid Nwakpa not know that our boxing was far behind when he took up the job and promised to deliver ? if our boys had done any better, would he be spewing the bunkum stewing from the rotten insides of his mouth ? who the heck hired him ? that idiot should be sacked ! any coach that starts making silly excuses should be mobbed on arrival . . .WHEN WOULD WE START ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR FAILURES AND THOSE WE LEAD IN ANY CAPACITY ? |
Re: Beijing 2008 Olympics - Boxing & The Rest by iice(f): 3:12am On Aug 19, 2008 |
