Nigeria participated in only 6 categories out of the 22 categories and we still won 36 medals, I think this was a good outing!
South Africa participated in almost all, yet they have only 39!

Nigeria did better than SA because team Nigeria participated in far fewer sports.
The Delta state government could help by grooming swimmers too. Let's hope the volleyball, basketball, rugby and hockey teams qualify for the next Olympics.

CFCfan:
Yep, you summarized the situation succinctly.
I heard somewhere that Nigeria may bid for another CWG in the future; but the immediate goal should be the bidding for the FIFA Women's and Men's World Cup.

so true,im glad for our successful outing here.replicating is what's left now.

I like volleyball sha

thank God we have manly built women, other countries can't compete with them. The guys are too useless..

Most especially Miriam Usman

36+1 Chika's Gold= 37. We met our previous record.

Good work by Uduaghan

Every society needs great role models

It does the naija delta youth more good seeing Okagbare and Brume on world stage than seeing tompolo and Asari dokubo

russello: AFRICA TOP THREE

------------gold---silver---bronze-----total
7 RSA-----13------10--------16----------39
8 NIG------11------11--------14---------36
9 KEN-----10------10---------5----------25

nice record!

Mopolchi: 36+1 Chika's Gold= 37. We met our previous record.

You know Chika's gold has been officially withdrawn?

CFCfan: And that race concludes the Athletics competition of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Up next for Nigerian athletics is the African Athletics Championships, which starts on August 10

with the confidence theyve garnered.south african go smell am. Divine was jst inexperience ,doesnt take away d fact that he is a vibrant sprinter.

FrancisTony:

I'ld love to see Ahoure and Okagbare battle for 100m and 200m gold medal.

Ahoure should forget it. Is she in form? Then i doubt okagbare will wana slip down again. Asunmu should be able to beat ahoure.

CFCfan:
Yes, since the inception of the Games. There should be a strong lobby for football to be included, even if it would only be for U-18s

so on point. I like this idea.

CFCfan:
You know Chika's gold has been officially withdrawn?

Yes, I know but felt that those Oyibos use style and wayo collect that one from us. Why Fraser-Pryce no run 100m and 200m, she 4 beat Blessing? Thank God sha.

daveP: with the confidence theyve garnered.south african go smell am. Divine was jst inexperience ,doesnt take away d fact that he is a vibrant sprinter.

I expect Nigeria to top the medals table at the AAC. We simply have some truly special talents.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has already qualified for the Women's 4x100m relay at next year's World Championships

What time is the closing ceremony ?

tompolo! yeah. If dangote was left to groom/finance the entire athletes in this contigent,it wont affect his wallet till 2016!

Mopolchi: Yes, I know but felt that those Oyibos use style and wayo collect that one from us. Why Fraser-Pryce no run 100m and 200m, she 4 beat Blessing? Thank God sha.

SAFP probably thought that she had nothing to prove in the individual events. After all, she's a double Olympic champion. Even Bolt ran in only the relays
For the elite athletes, the CWG comes 3rd in the pecking order, after the Worlds and Olympics

Or better still, watch at Vue Cinema, Finchley Rd.

quite easy as knife thru butter. Then working on the men is another aspect. I didnt like their contribution on the tracks at allll. Wish we had a 800m athlete. Whats d name of that south african boy-girl again?

lepasharon: What time is the closing ceremony ?

8:30pm

Well I pray Okagbare gains the experience to beat her at the World Championship and Olympics.

Lol @ "boy/girl"
Her name is Caster Semanya. Nigeria used to have a female 800m runner by the name Grace Eboh; I wonder what happened to her?

SAFP will not beat Okagbare in 200m

God Bless you! Semanya! This were places we had reps in before. August is fool and its a month for Nigerian Ladies/women allover the world. U20 starts this month. They'l bring back Gold as well.

Yeah, the Falconets now have the challenge of following the footsteps of their predecessors who made the semis in the last 2 tournaments.

Blessing is the stronger athlete, SAFP will lose steam after the first 110m

daveP: Ahoure should forget it. Is she in form? Then i doubt okagbare will wana slip down again. Asunmu should be able to beat ahoure.

lool. Asumnu needs to run below 11.00s before she can smell it.

The sports Nigeria could participate in at Rio 2016 can be:
Athletics, football, rugby 7s, hockey, basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, handball, boxing, weightlifting, wrestling, shooting, archery and swimming.

The Delta govt have already built 2 Olympic sized swimming pools, with a third nearing completion. With some 3 yrs of world class training, Nigerian swimmers should in Rio
