Aruna Quadri taking on Wang. I expect him to win the match and go as far as quarter final.

Quadri through to round 3. He will play a very tough Chinese who is ranked 7th in the world. The game is played around 2am tomorrow. Immediately after the dream team match.

I think we have a shot at women's weightlifting

The best chance is a bronze. The top 2 in the world are far far ahead of Mariam. Something like a 30kg difference.

Up next...Nigeria vs Sweden. Men's football. 11pm Nigerian time.

Do we have a Cycling team in Rio?, I belive we are African champions.

1. U23 football
2. Rowing lady

Aruna just beat the bronze medalist from last Olympics to advance to the quarter finals.....

I totally never expected Aruna to go beyond round 3. It seems he is playing the best TT of his life. Up next......Ma LONG, world number 1!

I dont want to be a spoiler, but Ma Long hardly loses! Can Aruna do it? Match is up tomorrow.

Oh no, Long is not only World No1, he is the defending champion. If Aruna wins, I see him clinching gold.

Aruna, make u win gold for Naija and snap selfie with Dalung

Missy Franklin - USA's Olympic swimmer - has won more career Olympic golds (4) than Nigeria (3) has won in its entire Olympic history.

Mehn!!! Haba naaa!!! Missy Franklin na young beast for water naa... I Read about her and one other US swimming rival.

Too bad Phelps wasn't Nigerian when he won all those gold medals...

Lol. I think if Phelps was Nigerian, he wouldn't have won all those gold medals!

I watched johnathan akinyemi on the highlights show he was 20th and only 15 go through to semi's.

That's true to an extent, however, environmental conditioning, training infrastructure,financial support etc helps nuture or erode talent.
Unfortunately, the Nigerian factor tends to erode talent.Says why we've only had 3 gold medals in 54 years of participating in the Olympics and a total of 23 medals or so. This can be changed though.

Yeah
