here is a popular Yoruba saying that translates, "He who is being watched does not look about!" This means that one needs total concentration when it really matters. In the field event of 100m, six athletes usually file on the marks. Each athlete, apart from having speed, skill and energy to compete, also needs total concentration to win. We always have the spectators either hailing, or throwing jibes and boos at relationship. Should the one leading the race allow fans he/she risks losing concentration to finishing on high! Even if the one coming last continues to receive boos, he can still bring out something of the competition, provided he does not listen to these distractive elements!
