#teamnigeria

adaobi I told you Gardner is just an initial gra gra person ...

if she can't beat jeter and ahoure : Shey na Okagbare and Fraser Pryce she wan gap?

they are lined up. am nt bothered about this sf at all .. she ll jog

bambostic: like which World Record is she gonna break? 10.49? 21.34? Both well out of reach, thanks to Flo Jo!

big thanks to her ...
I don't trust those times till today ... I have the clips on my laptop ... they look too boosted (you know what I mean)

double amen o ...

I have been trying to clear my desk since o got to work ...
I just wanted to be done with everything so I can have time to stream the semi finals live ...

by the time its the finals ... I must b in my haus ready to scream my lungs out

blessing of life ...

ola_pluto: Day 2...fair for Nigeria. 2 women miss out on final appearance after running very well. Nigeria win a silver medal (first since 1999).
Tomorrow, another chance of a medal. Blessing Okagbare AGAIN in 100m. Ajoke Odumosu and Ugonna Ndu go in the 400m hurdles. Good luck Nigeria. See you tomorrow afternoon (4.30pm) for the updates on the 100m women. Can Blessing Okagbare turn Silver to Gold? She's favoured silver going into the 100m final. She can do it. We see tomorrow.
Meanwhile, as I was updating you guys today, another Nigerian sportswoman just messaged me to say she's switching to represent UAE after being treated shabbily. She was given 400 naira a day in camping! That is ridiculous. Nigeria loses another potential olympic medalist.

this is so sad...

ola_pluto: BOlt is looking beatable.

yes ....
exactly what I was just telling my friends...

a fully fit Johan Blake ....Tyson gay without drugs ... will beat this present bolt!

akintun: Silver, but she has to improve on hitting d board

bros please congratulate her before saying this ...tanx.

up 9ja

a wonderful silver for Okagbare ... first medal in over 10 yrs

ola_pluto: One more chance for this Sapele girl...She's peaking! 6.99 is a sure silver. Can she get gold Prayer people...

ss6 is showing mainly d tracks

I want exclusive long jump

adaobi123: I'm not at home. Where is she first second third ?

2nd

guys. I won't gold as much as everyone ... but if it stands this way ... Okagbare's silver is a blessing to Nigeria

#teamokagbare #teamnigeria

Okagbare needs 7m+

you can do this sweetie

The LJ is almost here ... am fired up.

Okagbare can really afford to stroll ... but she needs to win in order to get a good lane in the finals

adaobi123: Anyways we shall see.......

nice. we agree to disagre...

tomoro is d day ... I just want to see how they ll b grouped ... with Gardner's time, she should get a gud group.

denniece1: Pls when is 400m semis(Women)

5:05pm Nigerian time

adaobi123: Did you see how fast English ran ?

did you see how Okagbare and shelly Ann jogged?

have you forgotten she was in that London field that Okagbare chewed? she was in Lausanne too ... she's not a major treat!

yes. I took that well deserved nap ... I am revitalized for the evening session

long jump final where r u? Reese who? Polk who? poctor who? sokolova who?

its all about blessing Okagbare tonight ... by God's grace.

adaobi123: Its between blessing, shelly-ann and English

I don't totally agree ...

blessing and shelly Ann are racing for first two spots ...

Gardner, ahoure, Stewart, and Jeter are racing for bronze...

adaobi123: Jeter looks injured

That ivorian athlete is beautiful

ahhh adaobi ...Haba!
pls leave the ladies for us naa ... we no help u drag the guys oo ... lol

yes ahoure is pretty ...

k-solo2013:
i just hope history dont repeat its self cus last year before the olympics blessing was running very fast and was in good form in all the meets, but when olympic final reach na she came 6th bcus of her terrible usual starts

the Olympics debacle was not because of her poor start ...

she chocked on d biggest stage ... she has moved past that now ...

she has been so consistent this year.

adaobi123: I missed it

Thank God for bbc iplayer

welcome adaobi ... u really missed!

k-solo2013:
blessing need to start faster and better if she wants to get a medal in the final

hello. even if she gives them 5m headstart ... she ll still get a bronze medal ... she's in dat kinda form

but yea. to win gold ... she needs a very gud start ... lukin at SAF n gardner's start ... Hmmmmm

Okagbare steps up every time ... I am nt bothered

ola_pluto: Nigeria will win her first medal in over a decade at 16.00 today! Blessing to jump 7.23m to win gold. See you guys at 4pm.

7.23m lol ... that is a lil much
she will win though ... am so sure!

she will do a lil over 7m to win easily ...

dwag: Wat was SAF time na! U guys should give breakdown of d major competitors na! I no dey watch am na!

the time really does not matter at this stage ... all the big names qualified.

SAF ran 11.16 .... but she jogged from start to finish and won her heats...

Jeter looks still injured ... she qualified too 11.24 I guess

kerron Stewart of jamaica, Gardner of USA and ahoure ... everybody that matas has qualified

now I cant wait to see how they will group them for the 3 semis ... Okagbare all d way ... she needs a beta start tho

CFCfan: Stephanie is out

my wife

Anywaiz its an okay time ... our relay looks good.

my gal just jogged ... blessing Okagbare of life.

CFCFAN dis u see Stephanie kalu? ... that girl na model oo ... I don take her ... marriage tinz

Gardner has run her finals in my opinion ...

ola_pluto: She's a pretender! The best she will get is a 6th or less.

true.

kerron stewart is in good form o ... I can't wait for this finals

ola_pluto: Having watched the first heat of the women 100m, I think 2 or 3 Nigerians might just sneak through to the semi finals. Blessing will not break a sweat to go through. Gloria Asumnu needs her trademark super start. Looking forward to meeting the new gal too on track.

me too. would love to see the new gal... Buh her heat is tough o ... Jeter and ahoure is there.
