Which time are you using? Nigerian or British?

I actually see Okagbare winning the finals. her time was the fastest in all the heats.

I watched Gloria Asumnu's race. She came second in her heat but i don't think she can reach the final judging by her time. Even if she gets there, she won't make an impact. I wish her the best though.

In the men's sprint, Nigeria's representatives qualified from their heat but what struck me was the name of these guys did not sound Nigerian in anyway. Are they actually Nigerians?

I also think Gloria will make up the numbers if she qualifies for the 100m final. But she'll be useful in the 4x100m relay, as she runs the bend well.

The AFN has been recruiting some Americans to run for Nigeria. Those Americans may have felt they had no chance to represent the United States.

The women seem to be more skillful than the men. In the 69kg, it was impressive to see the ladies lifting the equivalent of 200lbs and above

do you know how they place them into different categories? because I don't understand why a 16 year old AMALAHA will be in the same category with a 30year old woman( she came 2nd)

It's placement by body weight. Amalaha and the 30 yr old woman are in the same weight range.
