Okagbare was disqualified after placing fourth in her heat, with a time that would have been good enough for a place in the semi final. With Schippers, Ta Lou, Uibo, ShellyAnne out, Okagbare with the third fastest time in the world had a shot at a medal.

Our problem, we lack good work ethic. Okagbare is extremely naturally talented but she has refused to maximize it.
Litmus:
Okagbare DNS angry why does this girl always disappoint? You know, there is only so much witness can tolerate of divarism and supestarism. And some of us are heartily fed-up of Nigerian sportsmen and women behaving badly and expecting our support just because they blame government did not provide one thing or another. As for Nigeria authorities, it is about time that they begin to place unashamed emphases on patriotism as part of the selection process. What this would mean is emphasis on an industrial method of producing athletes to represent Nigeria and less on Talent. I envisage selecting young individuals based on physical attributes. You find teenagers no shorter than 5ft 9 (men) and 5ft 6 (women) and train them for various events. Coaches, and not the prospective young person, selects the event each youngster are to receive training. These trainees will also be thought in classrooms how to comport themselves abroad what and learn what the Nation expects of them and the meaning of sacrifice. Nigeria has so many determined youngsters able to represent Nigeria well and proudly at these world events and getting them ready is not that difficult.

Op’s character or lack of doesn’t matter. The onus is on the superior NOT to have sexual relations with a subordinate. He needs two things for a successful lawsuit - A. Did a sexual relationship occur with a superior that has an influence/power over his job? B. Was the outcome of the relationship a detriment? If yes, he is owed damages for the detriment(s). Of course the company can counter sue that the detriments was as a result of him being a bad worker I.e bad customer service rep, then the timeline has to match. When did the superior take disciplinary action against the Op? Before, during or after the relationship?

MrBrownJay1:


Unless the above can be proven, especially coming from an office slut who's already gone after a few other colleagues and bleeped them....it will be very easy to find many colleagues he deceived, to testify AGAINST his character

If it can be proven that his conversation with customers are indeed inappropriate and/or that the decision to only have full time staff comes from above that superior, such sexual harassment claim would be thrown out

In the work place a relationship between a superior and a subordinate is not consensual because of the imbalance in power. He has a civil recourse if the superior is using her power to deny him an income. In such relationships, the superior is fired and the company is liable to pay restitution for enabling it. That’s why companies here have very very strict policies on such.

MrBrownJay1:


Lol what a sad reply... so because they had a relationship (as two consenting adult), he should now sue the company? Think of the LIFE/PROFESSIONAL damage such lie will create.

Here is a simple clue: if their contract stipulated that there should not be any relationship between colleagues then BOTH should be fired for breaking the rules. There is no sexual harassment in this picture.

As your supervisor it was inappropriate for her to have a sexual relationship with you. If she is creating a hostile work environment for you, you should report her to HR. She should be fired or replaced as your supervisor. She can’t fire you because she knows she was in a position of authority during the ‘relationship’ and you have grounds to sue the company. Gather all the evidence of the relationship tell her you will report her if she doesn’t get off your back.

If you are in a country that has workplace sexual harassment laws, you might have just stumbled on that cool cash.

It doesn't matter if you were good ; what event(s) did you like taking part in?

Also cheerleading is fairly athletic yes?

Shelley Ann is back but I doubt she would win the gold. I feel Dina ( because of her amazing form at DL final) or Elaine Thompson (Who gives the feeling she is saving a special performance for the world championships) are more likely to win.

I didn't compete in school not for lack of trying lol I just wasn't good, I was part of the cheerleading squad though. I look forward to all the track events, especially the 100mH & 400mH women.

calgaryFriend:
I always like to understand what situation people are in before they talk on issues like this.

Ask a lady in her forties without a husband what she thinks about early marriage and you will understand. If you are married yourself with kids and settled you cannot know what ladies in their 40s without a family are going through.

Ever here in north America majority of women in their 40s that I have met are always eager to start a family and settle down.

There are a very few ladies though that would feel fulfilled without a family, but thats a very tiny percentage.

When people come around to make it look like thats the norm then we have a problem, I was dating a 34year old established lady here abroad, a Nigerian who had her career and everything going for her, when I figured out she was not the kind of person I wanted to marry and told her I was done with the whole thing, she called me crying and threatened to kill herself.

She was so distressed and I was so worried for her, people may pretend that they are okay but trust me majority of women would prefer to have a stable family than a stable career but most of these people realise this quite late.

And I think men too should marry early, as a Yoruba man, if you are 30years and not married as a man that looks awkward although we know Igbo men marry very late. I have 40 year old Igbo single men who do not even feel any pressure.

You know the bolded because??

True, I agree 100% and some career women are also fulfilled and happy with their choice. At the end of the day society should allow women choose without any backlash or use of derogatory words like “expire”.

olabrinks:
I’m sorry but not all women are destined to be career women. Self accomplishments are very personal, and what might seem silly to another might be huge to others. To some women, raising children in a stable marital home is their biggest achievement in life. They are happy and fulfilled with that and nobody can take that away from them. They might decide to have a small business on the side but taking care of their home is their biggest career. They are happy. Some career women are forever unfulfilled chasing insatiable dreams. It all depends on the individual. Let everyone do what makes them happy.

@OP:

I totally disagree that women do not 'expire'. Men do, however at a later date.

The concept called biological clock is very real and the earlier a woman has her kids (early 20s ideally), the healthier they both are in addition to other benefits.

Moreover, it is better she has her kids and launch into her career (she stays there longer) than focus on her career and leave marriage for later.

The younger a woman is, the better placed she is to find a spouse that aligns with her goals if she knows herself. The easier it is to also build a relationship.

The lower her body count is, the easier is it to bond with her husband spiritually, emotionally, sexually and physically.

The goals of marriage are
1. companionship
2. Prevention of adultery
3. Building a continuous society by breeding moral kids

As such it is very important and should be considered as such.

And a true marriage has never stopped a woman from reaching her potential: it aids her to it.

Like they say 'two (good) heads are better than one'.

Men and women expire when they die not before. A woman’s biological clock/fertility shouldn’t determine her worth. Is an infertile teenager ‘expired’? Women are not products with a shelf life.

Getting married and having kids, especially if you’ll be a hands on mom can derail you. The OP is saying while being married can be a beautiful thing, we shouldn’t let it define us.

@ the bolded, it’s being single that prevents adultery.

Just saw this, because of the yeye schedule don't think shaunae will compete in the 200m (she’s protesting), if the schedule doesn't change, shaunae will compete only in the 400m at Doha. So Dina has a very very good shot. Ditto Lyles.
GenBuhari:
Event preview:. Women's 200m

Clear favourite is:

Shayne Miller-Uibo (Bahamas). SB: 21.76

Minor medals likely to be shared by the following athletes:

Elaine Thompson (Jamaica) SB: 22.00

Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor. SB: 22.05

Dina Asher-Smith (UK). SB: 22.08

Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor could get a bronze medal if runs an inspired race. But realistically 4th position is most likely result.

Wow! Ur post makes Doha exciting to watch! Records might be broken and we don't know who might win.
GenBuhari:
Women's 100H - There is so much talent and experience in the field like Olympic champion Brianna McNeal, world record holder Kendra Harrison, Nia Ali indoor 60mH world champ.

So it may not be a simple 2-horse race. If the Americans perfect their preparation to be at their best , it could be difficult to predict the champion.

It hasn't occurred to me that Samba will not run, but now you brought it up, the fact he never appeared for last few DLs and especially the DL final may indicate all is not well.

In the 400H, The Norwegian Karsten Warholm may be the slight favourite, but USA's Kai Benjamin has the ability to cause an upset and clinch the gold. If conditions are right it would likely be won in a new world record of around 46.70.

In the men's 400 Norman will need perfect conditions and competition to even approach the world record. That record is so tough it cannot be broken easily. Norman if pushed by Kerly and others may possibly get as close as 43.20.

Christian Coleman will run a very fast time in 100m if conditions are right getting very close to
Usain Bolt's world record. something like 9.60.

Women's 100m will be also won in a very fast 10.65 or faster.(conditions allowing)
Sports / Re: Ese Brume wins Long Jump bronze medal at Athletics World Champs 2019. by liberalchick(f): 9:42pm On Sep 20, 2019
lol it's the 100mH very unpredictable! Keni world record holder has never won a medal! Also, Tobi beat Danielle at the commonwealth games last season. So whoever shows up in the final, will win. Tobi has the PB to take the Gold, if Danielle has a misstep.

No, I am not a student just love sports.
Do you know if Samba will run? I barely saw him at the DL. The Norwegian is fave to retain his title. Do you think Norman will break the 400M record? He is the only man that beat Noah Lyles at 200M.

GenBuhari:
I know. You are correct, I am kinda hoping she doesn't make it to Doha for Tobi's case grin


Looking forward to
Men's 100, 200, 400, 400H , SP, TJ, JT, DT 4x100.
Women's 100, 200,400,100H, 400H, LJ

What event(s) are you most excited to see?

GenBuhari:
Event preview: Women's 100m hurdle

Top 3 season best of performers who would be at the championships are:
Janeek Brown. (JAM) : 12.40

Kendra Harrison (USA): 12.43

Tobi Amusan. (NGR) : 12.49

Harrison is also world record holder.

2013 World champion & reigning Olympic champion Brianna McNeal (USA) is also in the event, but is not running as well as she usually does going into these championships with season's best of 12.61.

Tobi's form coming into these championships and her ability to raise her performance on big occasions, is what I believe makes her amongst the favourites to win the gold medal.
