I hope not as that wouldn't make sense, or else she would even be faster than Usain Bolt. |

olajide_07: Ol boy. U r such a fool ooo ... Who told u dat shelly ann fraser started winning Golds overnyt Shellz ann has been running professionally and in d shadows of Veronica Campbell for years... Okagbare started sprinting only in 2010! Its a gr8 feat comin from an African in a race dominated by the Americans & Jamaicans... No Nigerian has ever been close to her feat (No offense to Mary Onyali n Chioma Ajunwa) We should learn to praise our own! And BTW make sure u post a comment when she wins a medal at the World Championships next 2weeks ... Infact 3 medals ... 100m, 200m and Long Jump! |

deene:I say this again bros, step out of your house cross the road theirs this transformer if I can remember well adjacent your house, if they call you don't answer ruuuunnnnnnn, and go and hug it, Nigerian's even as young as you are contempted with second fiddle, you don't even know what excellence is, you score an A, at a pre-degree course and you are praising yourself isn't it someone that scored A at a full Degree course, kai- do you guys want to end her career here, when there's the olympic |

olajide_07: You come across as someone who only knows about the olympics and not someone who follows athletics as an atheltic fan(correct me if I'm wrong). I can assure you that even other competitors and other nations(journalists/athletes) will take notice of her performance. It is an African Record for crying out loud and there are not many 10.7 female runners so her accomplishment while not being an olympic medal(which she already has) is worth taking note of. With the world championships two weeks away, it's even more exciting. Also, the diamond league events are major, money generating and a chance to race your fellow competitors. Would you prefer she did nothing and turned up at the "Olympics" expecting to win a medal without doing the work needed before? |
Re: Nigerian Blessing Okagbare Breaks African Women's 100m Record by olajide8(m): 10:28pm On Jul 29, 2013 |
rume:Well - let me, take back my words initially, because of what you have said, *Would you prefer she did nothing and turned up at the "Olympics" * she performed well, considering the fact that, we are really not an athletic loving nation, but- I just wanted us to encourage her to win that coveted gold medal, on the world stage. Its like winning the world cup, if you win the women's 100m gold at the olympics, you become the world current fastest woman, but no matter how many records you break at all these meets, they would mention it as the woman that ran the fastest time, set a world record at the london diamond olympics - believe you me, even if you don't break the a record at the olympics, in as much as you came first at the 100m dash, they would call her, the fastest woman in the world, I guess that was my position- |
