Not out yet I think

She may have a chance at the bronze medal match if the lady who beats her gets to the final

Oh, well. Thanks for the correction.

While Chukwuebuka Enekwechi qualifies for the next round of Men's Shot Put.

Sports is dying in Africa, just look at the female 800m final.

CornOak:
Men's 200m Semis

Divine Oduduru is out of the race for a medal.

He came 3rd with 20.16s.

do4luv14:



Isn't it 1st, 2nd, and 3rd that usually qualifies

Beancounter94:


No money.

That's the problem

No money for facilities, expertise, food, competitions, raising the next generation of talent.

China is on top of the medals table. They spent 6.7 billion dollars on sports in 2019. In 2020, Nigeria budgeted $200 million for sports.

Many African countries are in the same boat...even the successful ones

Ilovezzor:


China is on the top because they take education as important as sport.

They are doing everything
Even track

Lol

do4luv14:



Isn't it 1st, 2nd, and 3rd that usually qualifies

No, only the 1st and 2nd winners qualify automatically. Then they pick two 3rd-placed runners based on their highest finishing time.

For instance; Oduduru stopped at 20.16s and was placed on the pending qualification list. Unfortunately, another 3rd placed runner finished ahead of him at 19.98s.

As a result, the faster runner (19.98) took Divine's place and qualified.

Hope this helps.
