South Korea finished second in the finals for the inaugural men’s roller skating relay at the Hangzhou Asian Games on Monday after a premature celebration cost them the gold medal.

South Korean rollerskater, Jung Cheol-won, committed a serious error of judgement by celebrating too early

Jung was left red-faced after being the anchor for his three-man team in the men’s 3,000m relay final at Qintang Roller Sports Centre.

Thinking he had easily beaten Huang Yu-lin, he eased up and raised his arms in celebration, only for the Taiwanese skater to lunge with his leg across the line first in 4min 05.692sec to win by one hundredth of a second.

“I made a rather big mistake. I didn’t come at full speed to the finish line. I let my guard down too early,” said a sheepish Jung.

“I am very sorry. I apologise to my teammates and to our fans who supported us.

“We all worked very hard together for this, and it’s all my fault.”


Taiwan’s Huang said it was a “miracle” that he won, with his coach drumming it into him that you never give up.

“I realised they were celebrating, but I wanted to tell them, while you were celebrating, I was still fighting,” he said.

“I wasn’t sure whether I had reached the finish line in time.

“I thought it was such a shame that I was just a little bit short, and then the results came up on the screen showing that I had won by one hundredth of a second, and it was just a miracle.”

Taiwan’s women rubbed salt in the wounds by winning their 3,000m relay final, also consigning South Korea to silver.

Where were you when Tinubu went personal during the campaigns referring to Atiku as goat meat that was to be raoasted by Obasanjo but for him Tinubu? Atiku is is only taking his pound of flesh.

Some NL members have still not realized that many truly Great Nigerians daily visit Nairaland to get briefed and updated on the goings on in this Country, and also for comic relief reading comments. If I mentioned the popular Names of my Great Nigerian friends that regularly visits here and discuss things from here with me, you will find it hard to believe.

Just like myself, many of us successful wealthy Nigerians, Renowned Lecturers, Professors, Chief Imams, Pastor G.O.s, Senators, and Great Politicians have been regular Guest Readers of Nairaland for several Years now, while some are even registered NL Members but never comment. The recent happenings in this wonderful Country finally made me to register today.

To start with, it doesn't take rocket science knowledge to see who the True Winner of the 2023 Presidential Election is. With the way PDP's Kwankwasho, Peter Obi and Atiku couldn't unite to nominate one of them to confront APC Tinubu but unwittingly splitted PDP Votes into 3, only a self-deceitful Soul would still be wasting time arguing that APC Tinubu did not Win. Tinubu Won the Presidential Election square and fair against all Odds, and every sensible human being on Earth knows this.

But the way Naira has been on free fall at alarming speed due to Scarcity of FOREX has called for concerned from every Soul that wishes Nigeria well. It is extremely sad that the forces that wants the current President to fail are using every means available to get him discredited and hated by Nigerians Populace. The unexpected Boldness demonstrated by the President in stopping and reversing the forceful take over of Ancestral People Homelands has shocked the Cabals that expected him to be a weakling to the marrow. So, they have now queued up behind Atiku being their tribal Person and also using their Leverage as the major runners of Bureau de Change Companies in Nigerian to create a wickedly orchestrated FOREX Scarcity which has caused immense Damage to Naira and Purchasing Power of Nigerians in recent times, automatically making Nigerians to feel disappointed about Bola Tinubu's Presidency.

Sad still is the fact that Southern Peter Obi and his praise-singers that should understand the Danger to his Homeland and People if Tinubu should be pulled down (The Cabal that saw every Part of Nigeria as their Conquered Property used Federal Might heavily to advance their militia who raped a lot of Igbo women and killed many in Igbo Land before Tinubu got Buhari out of Power), is using his brother in NLC against President Tinubu. Every intelligent Person knows Nigerian History knows that there is no way Buhari would ever declare Obi winner then, even currently he stands no chance whatsoever as it was Atiku that came second.

Knowing fully well that Tinubu won the Presidency, and that Life has become much safer on Farms, in Forests, at Villages and even the wanton Life-destroying excesses of Buhari Boys in Cities such as the breaking into Lugbe Estates in Abuja, Efab Estates, etc has now become a thing of the past, how would you Advise our current President to tackle these Cabals? As we can now see that they are using their Strangle-hold on FOREX and Bureau de Change Industry to Punish Nigerians just like they used Emefiele to kill many Nigerians with unprecedented Hardship just because they wanted their Tribal Person to replace Buhari so that they can Continue their Hijacking of Ancestral Homelands of indigenous Nigerians which Tinubu has been fighting Tooth and Nail for since the days of Abiola that this same Canals almost killed him but ALMIGHTY GOD Preserve his Life for this same Purpose of this same Invaders' Battle that he has been fighting to save all indigenous Nigerians from. Every deep-thinking Nigerians are Fasting and Praying that ALMIGHTY GOD Help Tinubu to Conquer this long-time Formidable Enemies of hundreds of Millions of Indigenous People of Nigeria!
