adbaba: coruption is a cancer that eat up success in dis part of the world. Really a cancer When I was in second school, the noertherners always win to use to marathons We have rivers We have runners We have a potential and sizable pool of sportsmen and women yet without a development program, nothing can happen Even boxing and football which were one of our main stays are almost comatose |

k-solo2013: I don't think it was nerves. I believe that Odumosu simply did not want to be out there. She's not been running well this season - I remember her finishing last or so in the Diamond League event in Birmingham a few weeks ago, I think she had an injury... I have a feeling that she knew she was not going to make it through the rounds, but being obligated to compete she had to line up at the start of the race...the false starts (especially the first one) were so blatant that you have to wonder whether she did it intentionally...you rarely see false starts in 400m races...and twice from the same athlete in the same race? That's very unusually...it's also rather odd that they let her stay on the first time. Seems like she may have just been intent on getting herself disqualified! That's too bad because she made the Olympic final last year. Let's hope she can pick herself up from this disappointment! |

CFCfan: And Ugonna Ndu is out. She finished 7th. Well done to Ugonna for even making the World Championship team. She's only 21 and recently switched allegiance from the US to Nigeria. She's already Nigeria's 100m hurdle Champion from her first appearance at the National Championships in June, and she finished 2nd there behind Odumosu in the 400m hurdles I think... She's technically a good hurdler but I think needs to get stronger and faster. She should be encouraged because she has a lot of room for improvement! 1 Like |

adaobi123: Who knows, she may end up taking home at least $100,000 at the end of this tourney. |

Interesting behavior from Ajoke Odumosu. I feel she's got an issue with AFN or something similar. Its not looking good for our relay team in 4x400 if Ajoke doesnt want to be there. Meanwhile....this afternoon, everybody gonna die on the line today. Blessing must take gold ooo. 1 Like |
