Of course it's her real age. She's an American jumper. Id question her age if she was in a Nigerian team

Diasporan:
That's true.There is this High school where i go play soccer in my spare time.You have to see the facilities the school has for athletes and the serious drills the high school athletes both male and female undergo in the evenings.Their soccer pitch can host any training section of major European clubs.The whole system is all about catching them young

adaobi123:

Texas.Cowgirl:


That was for the Olympics. She plays for the good USA

CFCfan:

She is still very much part of the Nigerian set-up. Like I said earlier, she is a sure-banker to make the team to the IAAF world championships.

CFCfan:

She still competes for Naija

Texas.Cowgirl:


Which Nigerian set up?

CFCfan:

She still competes for Naija

Texas.Cowgirl:

CFCfan:


She'll turn 25 later this year. I believe that's her real age tho because she looks 'youngish' and is still at the top of her game.

Texas.Cowgirl:


For the Olympics, yea

CFCfan:

She is still very much part of the Nigerian set-up. Like I said earlier, she is a sure-banker to make the team to the IAAF world championships.

CFCfan:

She will also compete in other international tourneys for Naija i.e African Athletics Championships, All Africa games etc.

Texas.Cowgirl:
Da heck wold she be doing wasting her time with low-funded Nigeria?

Diasporan:
Bro don't get it twisted.Winners do go home with some cash after such events?Anything that makes her slow tempo how will she pay her bills?all in the name of slowing tempo for bigger games that you might end up not qualifying for.Lets say some younger sprinters springs up tomorrow that are faster what will be her fate for qualification for the bigger stage?

Diasporan:
Shymexx i know her personally.My friend use to be her boy friend way back.In terms of age she didn't lie.Athletics is not soccer you know

adaobi123:

Hopefully, O God in heaven, its over to you now.

However, I hope she improves on her start in running, they were quite bad during the Olympics.

fckyourman:

Americans in what sports ?. Just basketball and american soccer i presume. the reason behind that, is every black person wants to be athletic in america not in nigeria.

In Europe check every football club you will see a black guy.

Texas.Cowgirl:
Da heck would she be doing wasting her time with low-funded Nigeria?

shymexx:

Alright, bro.

Also, at age 18 she broke the Nigerian record of 14.13 metres in the triple jump - that's impressive.

CFCfan:

Yep, her coach (Smith) has to work on that. Imagine if she had a much faster start, she may be running close to 10.7 secs or faster! She could be the female Usain Bolt.

adaobi123:

The girl has potential to beat the likes Fraser and Jeter. When that day finally comes, I go celebrate

CFCfan:

That's the ish. Firstly though, if she gets a medal (whether individual or relay) in Moscow this August, I'll be so happy.

tglobal:

I believe you.With her form in the last olympics(Heats and Semi Finals), she had what it took to run 10.85 in that final, but then finals take more than just ability.

CFCfan:
She is a Delta girl, so that's not too surprising.

At the national sports festivals in Naija, Delta and Edo States usually top the medals table.
