Top Sprinter is a Reality TV show designed to unearth Nigeria’s raw talent in Sprinting and train them up IN Nigeria to become world class athletes. Ultimately, the goal is to birth a group of home-grown superstars that can win medals for Nigeria at the biggest stage of all – the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games!

For 2015/16, the Top 12 Athletes discovered in the pilot, Top Sprinter Genesis, will join MoC’s upcoming Track Club, and will be sponsored by MoC to train FULL-TIME for at least ONE YEAR ahead of the 2016 Olympics, and longer if they prove their mettle as future world beaters!
Particularly for those who have never taken part in Athletics seriously, or have been out of the sport for a few years, there will be closed pre-screening “auditions” for Top Sprinter Genesis throughout February in Lagos, but only for registered participants!

About Making of Champions Ltd

The Making of Champions Movement was started immediately after the London Olympics in 2012, when Nigeria suffered the ignominy of not winning a single medal for this first time since Seoul ‘88! In 2013, independent film-maker and MoC Founder Bambo Akani directed and produced Making of Champions: "The History", a feature-length documentary chronicling Nigeria's Rise and Fall in Athletics at the Olympics!

The film was shot in Nigeria, Jamaica, USA and Europe, and features former Nigerian medallists such as Innocent Egbunike, Francis Obikwelu and Glory Alozie, and the Jamaican stars Yohan Blake, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Asafa Powell. Amongst other revelations, the film shows emphatically ‘Why Jamaicans (not Nigerians) are Track & Field CHAMPIONS’ and hilariously reveals that ‘Jamaicans think Nigerians are Long Distance Runners!’ – it screened at the 2014 iREP Documentary Film Festival in Lagos to critical acclaim!

In 2014, MoC became the No. 1 online community for Nigerian Athletics, with 70,000 blog views, 30,000 views on the YouTube Channel, 15,000 fans on Facebook and a total of 1,400 on Twitter and Instagram (@MakingOfChamps), by having a media presence (a blogger and photographer) at the biggest international events for Team Nigeria - The Commonwealth Games in Scotland, the African Championships in Morocco, the World Relays in the Bahamas!

For 2015, we're in the process of launching Nigeria's 1st Professional Track Club, to ensure that Nigeria is competitive again at the next Olympics in 2016 and to surpass the likes of USA and Jamaica by 2020! We believe that Nigeria can be Number 1 in World Athletics in 5 years, so that's what we’re working towards – connect with us and become a part of this movement to return Team Naija to the pinnacle of Olympic Sports!
