isaiah9:Croatia would be tricky opponents. But I believe D'Tigers are good enough to take one of the four quarter final spots from the group. |

Athletics prospects: Men 1. Divine Oduduru making semi final will be a great acheivement in the 200m. He seems to step up on the big stage. 2. The two triple jumpers are good. I think Tosin will make finals. Olu may push for final too. Two Nigerian in the final is the best we can hope for. Verdict: NO MEDAL for Nigerian Male athletes in RIO. Women: ALL our women will be exciting to watch. The weakest may be the 400m hurdles, but seriously the remaining are all exciting. Relays.. we may make final of the 4 x 100m relay, while we are one of the top 5 in the 4x400m. 1 Like |

yes we have some exciting prospects in the women athletes but they only look good enough to make their respective finals without getting a medal. although ese brume could spring a surprise she had greatly improved. blessing if she can wisely choose which event she would most likely do well in she should conserve her energies for such an event cus doing 4 events no be beans for the men i'm so sad at the lack of top quality athletes. ogunlewe looks promising though as well as antwon hicks hopefully they can make the final of their respective events olapluto: |

FINA, the world governing body for swimming and other aquatic events, has confirmed that two Nigerian swimmers have met the qualifying standard for the Rio Olympics. They swimmers are Rechael Tonjor (women's 100m breastroke), and Samson Opuakpor (men's 50m freestyle). Their inclusion brings to the number of Nigerian athletes, who have qualified for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, to 75. 1 Like |

CFCman:Yipee!! I as thinking of opening a thread to follow up on the olympics and then I stumbled on this . Generally I think the women will do better than the men and for some weird reason I believe nigeria will do better than we expect(the feeling is really weird but its still a feeling sha). Odunayo adekuoroye will definitely get a medal, I am tipping her for silver, she's a wrestler and has prepared well. I hear MFM church have been supporting her and she lacks nothing, equally really talented too. |

What's happening oo I heard IAAF is disturbing our 4by400 girls. Must olympics agree to IAAF's decisions?? That team is strong and should get to the final.I hope something can be done, replace the adeloye lady maybe?v CFCman: |
Re: 2016 Olympics Thread: Funke Oshonaike Is Team Nigeria's Flagbearer by Nobody: 3:57pm On Jul 29, 2016 |
superduperjay: Tosin Adeloye was banned because she was part of the team that achieved the Olympic qualifying mark in the 4x400 relay at the Warri Grand prix last month. As a result, that qualifying mark has been erased from the official records, and the 2 other fastest olympic qualifying times ran by the team didn't meet the Olympic qualifying mark. Recall that the IAAF similarly retroactively recommended that the gold medal be stripped from the USA's 4x400m relay team in the 2000 Olympics, because one of the runners, Antonio Pettigrew, tested positive to a banned substance. So, I don't think any appeal by the AFN and NOC has high odds of being successful. It's a sad day for our athletes and for the other members of the relay team. |
