Sports › Nigeria Bronze Winners Receive Warm Welcome In Lagos by neolboy(op): 2:50pm On Aug 23, 2016
Samson Siasia's men returned to the country on Monday following their bronze medal winning outing at the 2016 Olympic Games

The Nigeria U23 team, without key players like John Obi Mikel and William Troost-Ekong, arrived Lagos on Monday night following their bronze medal winning feat at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

The African U23 champions won the nations' only medal following their 3-2 victory against Honduras in the third place match as Rio 2016 came to a close on Sunday.

The Dream Team VI arrived the country to a warm reception from members of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club and other fans.

12 players and seven officials, including coach Samson Siasia, returned to the country while others had returned to their various clubs.

Chelsea's Mikel, Haugesund defender Troost-Ekong, AS Trencin midfielder Kingsley Madu, Osmanlıspor's Aminu Umar and AS Roma's Sadiq Umar were some of the players missing from the returning squad.

Those who flew into Lagos on Monday night include Olufemi Ajayi Junior, Saliu Popoola, Okechukwu Azubuike, Stanley Amuzie, Ndifreke Udo, Muenfuh Sincere and Ezekiel Imoh.

Upon their arrival, Siasia's men were lodged at the Sheraton Hotel and were expected to depart to their various destinations from Lagos on Tuesday.

In the meantime, no official hosting plan has been announced for the team by the Nigeria Football Federation and the sports ministry.

The Nigerian team withstood arriving in Brazil just hours to their opening game to win the country's only medal. They suffered flight cancellation, were almost kicked out of their hotel due to lack of payment and were boosted by a Japanese surgeon that handed them a cheque for winning their bronze medal match against Honduras.

Sports › Two Runners At Rio Who Collided And Fell Helped Each Other by neolboy(op): 7:16pm On Aug 17, 2016
US runner Abbey D'Agostino encouraged New Zealand's Nikki Hamblin as she lay dazed on the track after the two entangled and fell.

"Get up," she told her. "We have to finish this."
Then Hamblin herself hung back to encourage the American, who if anything probably needed more help.

D'Agostino eventually hobbled over the line in last place.

The two women embraced before D'Agostino left in a wheelchair with a hurt ankle.

The incident occurred about 3,000 metres (yards) into the race, when D'Agostino and Hamblin collided and both went down.

Hamblin fell heavily and just lay there, appearing to be in tears.

Instead of continuing the race in an attempt to catch up, the American put her hands under the New Zealander's shoulders to help her up, telling her not to give up.

As they continued the race, it became clear that D'Agostino's injury was the more serious and her ankle had been badly hurt.

So it was Hamblin's turn to be the helper, hanging back to encourage her rival.

"She helped me first," said Hamblin after the race. "I tried to help her. She was pretty bad."

She eventually had to leave D'Agostino behind and thought the American would have to give up.

She waited at the finish line where they shared a hug. This time, it was D'Agostino who was in tears and she was taken out of the stadium in a wheelchair.

"That girl is the Olympic spirit right there," said Hamblin.

The two runners have been reinstated as finalists by the organisers, if they are fit enough to race in Friday night's final.

Sports › Olympics: Taribo West Recalls How Nigeria Created History In 1996 by neolboy(op): 11:09am On Aug 03, 2016
On 3 August 1996, Nigeria made history as the first African nation to become Olympic football champions at the Atlanta Games.

For Taribo West, the former Auxerre, AC Milan and Inter Milan defender, that 3-2 triumph over Argentina in the final is still fresh in his memory.
"The Olympics in 1996 is one of the most fantastic periods in my career," West reminisces to BBC Sport.

"We had a team that could match any in the world."

Nigeria's results at 1996 Olmypics:

Grp D: 1-0 Hungary Quarter-final: 2-0 Mexico

Grp D: 2-0 Japan Semi-final: 4-3 Brazil (aet)

Grp D: 0-1 Brazil Final: 3-2 Argentina

West says the build-up to the Games, under the guidance of Dutch coach Jo Bonfrere, was ideal despite being beaten by Togo, in Lagos, in their final pre-Olympic friendly before travelling to the USA.

"Before the Olympics, we were well prepared in the USA. We were not distracted by the usual things we encounter back home in Nigeria, where family and friends can come and visit us in camp," he remembers.

"We were in a very remote place and we were very focused on the task at hand. Jo Bonfrere's preparation of the team was excellent."

After their opening 1-0 win over Hungary and a subsequent 2-0 victory over Japan, the West Africans lost 1-0 to Brazil in their final Group D match in Orlando, Florida.

With a 2-0 win over Mexico in the quarter-finals, the "Dream Team", as the Nigerians were nicknamed back home, collided with the Brazilians once again, in what was an epic semi-final.

The 31 July encounter is one that West, renowned for his dreadlocks and robust defending, will never forget.

After going 3-1 down in the first half, with Brazil's Flavio Conceicao scoring in the game's very first minute, the Nigerians were in a particularly tough spot.

"We knew that in the first half of that game, we had played very poorly," West admitted.

"But the key to our comeback in the second half was that we were our extraordinary determination.

"The voice of the leaders came up in the dressing room. We won that match in the dressing room.

"Fortunately, we had Daniel Amokachi, Sunday Oliseh and Uche Okechukwu. It was a big advantage for us."

Victor Ikpeba, the AC Monaco striker who was voted as Africa's top player a year later, reduced the tally in the 78th minute.

But when Jay-Jay Okocha blew the opportunity to draw level, fluffing a penalty with just minutes left on the clock, the match seemed well and truly over for Nigeria.

That feeling, however, was not in the mind of Nwankwo Kanu, the two-time African Footballer of the Year.

The former Ajax, Inter and Arsenal striker scored the equaliser in the 90th minute and displayed uncanny presence, agility and finesse to score the winner four minutes into extra-time, sending the Eagles' bench into delirium.

After such a dramatic victory against the team of Bebeto, Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo, which had won the World Cup only two years before, West says the Nigerians were certain they had a golden date with destiny in the final against Argentina, at the Sanford stadium in Athens, Georgia.

"There was something in our spirit that made us realise that we going to win, although we didn't know how," West recalls.

"As soon as Argentina got the first goal, we were not discouraged. Amunike was able to give us the winning strike.

"When [Italian referee Pierluigi] Collina blew that whistle, I just collapsed on the field and knew my dream had come true.

"My [gold] medal in is the bank overseas. It is something to show to my children".
