Sprinter Femi Ogunode Blazes To World Leading 9.91 Sec 100m by Nobody: 3:10am On Apr 25, 2016 |
Femi Ogunode running for Qatar is one of the most underrated sprinters in the world. He has been saying for a couple of years that he is capable of beating the world. I think if we want to improve our chances of medals in Rio Olympics then we should try and persuade him back to the Nigerian team in time for the Olympics.

How did you get into representing Qatar? I was supposed to represent Nigeria at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, however due to some manoeuvres that I could not understand I was dropped from the team. Prior to that I had qualified to represent Nigeria at the All African Games in Algiers but some politicking ensured that I was dropped from the team despite making the trials. These acts were discouraging but I decided to keep on training and working hard because who knows, I could be favoured by one of the powers that be in the future. My dad was also a great source of encouragement because he always told me to be the best that I could be despite whatever challenges that came my way. One day, I got a mail from Qatar asking if I was interested in coming to their country and I said yes but told them I had no funds to move. They told me to send my passport and I was given passage to Qatar. The rest as they say is history as I became a Nigerian-Qatari http://www.premiumtimesng.com/sports/sports-features/193998-interview-why-i-dumped-nigeria-for-qatar-asias-fastest-man-ogunode.html |
