All Nigerians OUT of wrestling for today (except if their conquerors get to the final, then they can fight for bronze).
Up next, dream team vs Germany (a win guarantees a medal)

Tomorrow: My only genuine medal hope for Nigeria Odun is fighting. If she loses, then it will be 8 straight years since Nigeria last won an olympic medal. By the next olympics, it will be 12 years since a country as big as Nigeria won a medal of any colour at Olympics.

Or can Ese Brume repeat what Okagbare did in 2008?

you didnt even mention relay. you think we won't get any medal from relay? 4×400m relay produced the bronze medals we won at Athens in 2004.

we have only one relay team in Rio. They will do well to even make the final. No medals expected in athletics except Mozia devies his trend and throws a PB in the shot put.

Our best medal hope is now very shaky too. Odunayo has been handed a very tough draw against Sofia Mattsson. The two fought just last year and it was Sofia who beat Odunayo by putting her back to the floor. Things change, but Odun has to surpass her best.
See the fight they had last year:

She doesnt look unbeatable though, but Odun's chances arent too big.

Our topmost shot put thrower is struggling to even register one legal throw. Doreen Amata cannot seem to jump past 1.85m. Two Nigerians on their way out of qualification round. Depressing.

Doreen Amata just jumped 1.85. Blessing Oborodudu is out of wrestling too. Mozia with one last chance. The forces are against naija.

Mozia out, Doreen still hanging on. Im switching to the wrestling. Odunayo fighting soon. Relay team is the last standing athletics event for Nigeria.

all the best to odunayo. keep the updates coming sir. I'm following.

Odun comes in singing as always. Swedish girl looks focussed. Match starts.

Odun almost lost the match in the first minute. She managed to just stay in it. She's 6-0 down. Her back was on the mat. Not good.

Match Over. Odun lost. I think the Swede will make the final, so maybe Odun can come back for bronze....maybe

It looks like Nigeria will not win any medals at this Olympics confirmed. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong even before they left Nigeria.
Football team will complete the heartbreak on Saturday. If the trend is anything to go by, then dream team will lose to Honduras.

BTW. Doreen Amata also out at 1.89m. Not making the finals.

Up next relay...

chai really had hopes for odun

but patriotism aside if our athletes had mistakenly won many medals (think the football team will win bronze) we would be passing a message to our youth that unseriousness and incompetence trumps hardwork and planning

The skies smiled at us. We qualified for the relay finals. USA out. We may medal...

Exactly why I wanted the football team to lose. It makes no sense to celebrate a bronze medal after all we put in.

I was happy when Felix dropped the baton. There is hope for our girls in the final.

we won't lose. Football is different, those boys have clubs and so they have been preped well.

USA women's 4×100 relay advances to final after jury of appeals decided Felix was obstructed. The team easily finished the qualifying run - alone on the track with a 41.77 time. The chinese team is out.

What about that our heavy weight boxer that KO his opponent in less than 30sec??

Our olympics story ends today. A nation of 160 million people cannot produce a top 3 in any sports at the olympics. Damning!

It is damning indeed
All the pressure is now on Siasia's boys

And they delivered the golden bronze for Nigeria by beating honduras by 3-2

I feel for Blessing Okagbare...she has now medal-less in 2 straight Olympics.

its not just the winlessness but the manner in which the winlessness has occured. The lady that handed over to her in the relay was 2nd by the time okagbare was handing over she was fifth, I was like whaaaaaaat!! I think she's pregnant though cause she looks more rounder and fatter, I might be wrong tho
