Omo Britain and Nigeria luck for Athletics sha.

This men final go mad o.

BlueMann:
Yohan Blake has fallen off sha...baba can't even run sub 10 again.

na true o. Him and Trayvon are the upsets. Though I understand Trayvon is just recovering from injury.

airmark:
Great effort, he must do better sub 10 to have any chance of a medal in the final.

Exactly. Ronnie baker's group all finished sub 10 sec. My bet is the first two is coming from there.

Tobi Amusan blitz into women 110m hurdles finals.

afrodoc2:
Nice one Adegoke. Roku to the end.

He and Trayvon finished on the same time. He was given based on their snapshot. I am happy for him.

nihilistjnr:
Omo na true say Asiwaju don transition?

it has been denied. But if it is true it would be just another sermon of how man cannot run more than his destiny.

Nezzjnr:
Pheeeew... Hope this clown won't turn to a resident here

I sincerely hope not.

afrodoc2:
It is not only about times she ran but the fact that she improved her 100m and 200m time by half a second in 1988 and retired immediately mandatory random testing was introduced.



If you know about athletics you will know it’s virtually impossible to improve your 100m time by half a second within months…………unless you are getting help either via steroids or juju.

Flo Jo was probably my first international athletic hero BUT i am with the majority that believe she doped. It is what it is.

Well as you said it is what it is. I just feel the times might not be impossible as they make it to be. I understand your points Sha.

What happened to that Ivorian Ahoure? She was hot in the past.

I don't think she made it to the Olympics.

afrodoc2:
These Jamaican women are something else.

I swear those Jamaica are power horses. Pos 1-3.

On another note Joyner getting vindicated. After years of female athletes saying her record in Olympics and World can't be broken because she allegedly doped. E remain that World record.

Thompson defends her Gold medal. Fraser pryce wins silver. Ta lou sadly misses out.

Three Jamaicans in the women's final. Damn Fraser pryce likely going to win Gold which would be a record. I hope ta Lou makes the podium.

airmark:
How i wish Enoch Adegoke has long strides. The guy can sprint.

You watched it. His height caused it sha.

Enoch Adegoke wins his heat. I cannot believe that Us guy in his group didn't even make lst three. Asher smith is out for the women.

Odunharry:
Ivory Coast doing Africa proud..

which event is that?

afrodoc2:
We run 3 x 133.33m

Lol na juju be that. I am sure the rules will not allow that.
Looking back at the heats, Okagbare face looked like she was bleaching, could it be a side effect of the drug use. I didn't think too much about it but with the suspension I had to go and look at her past pics. She isn't exactly a dark skinned person sef.

Havertz10:
Blessing disappointed me, why use chemicals that are detectable when there is juju that is undetectable

Lol thi one off me. Our only hope in Athletics is the lady in hurdles - Tobi Amusan. Except one of the guys pull off a superb upset I don't expect to see a medal.

PDPGuy:
Update: Tobi Amusan and Ese Brume have been drafted into Nigeria’s 4x100m relay team to join Okagbare and Grace Nwokocha, due to the ineligibility of two original runners on the team

Now that Okagbare has been disqualified who remain to draft in like this.

amstamon:
Why we no get 1 sense bayi? I think we need a very good psychological coach that'll let our athletes understands the difference between heats and finals. After aunty done exhaust her strength on heats finish, she go kon carry kpo (last) for quarter final.
I'm sure she had run her best on heats. You see that Jamaica athlete for second? NA SHE GET THE GOLD!! stake your money on her and thank me later.

This is an ignorant post. That time is nowhere her season/personal best. Just dey show yourself with ignorance.

Wait you mean she died last night and the news is already out ?! All this so call 'family sources sha'.

Havertz10:

it has been long since Soldiers fall the guy. Death did not show well one the body.

Sam Kerr breaks British hearts. Miedema is out, so she has an outside chance of winning.

BlueMann:
Surprised cos I wanted him to do the Golden slam. Anyways, at least Zverev is through, I'd love for him to win it - at least as small compensation for all his grand slam disappointments.

He just lost the mixed doubles too. Nadal remains the only one to win Gold in the singles. All this would not matter if Novak wins the Us open though, it would be the beginning of certifying him GOAT outrightly.

Djokovic out. I didn't see this one coming, I was expecting a Golden slam. He might still get that Calendar Grand slam though. He is definitely surpassing Federer and Nadal.

I heard the shameless Nigerian officials there still attempted to defraud them by holding on to the Samsung phones supposed to be given to all athletes.

PDPGuy:
Blessing Okagbare and Grace Nwokocha are both through to the Women’s 100m semifinals, after clocking 11.05s and 11.00s, respectively, in their heats.

Nwokocha’s 11s run is her new PB

They both did well. After the bad news earlier in the day this is a succor. They would need to improve on that time so as to make the finals and possibly a medal. The race would be tighter than usual this year. In addition to the favs - Elaine Thompson, Asher smith and Fraser- Pryce. Leahna Daniels and that ivorian Ta lou have shown they aren't there just to make up the nos. I feel sorry for Sha carri that was disqualified

Marco can Ginkel scored for PSV yesterday in their win over Galatasaray in their bid to make UCL group stage. I am happy for him sha after many years sidelined cos of injury. I didn't Gotze was also there.

Happy birthday Ojurongbe. Many happy returns.

TheLequte:
Women’s football is comical. Bakayoko go don score hattrick in this USA vs AUS game. Werner Mighty go don miss 20 1v1s.

were they missing chances or what? What is it both teams?

donjazet:
Amoto, thanks for this.
This was quite a powerful interview. I must say, I like rudigers literary prowess. And he's obviously insightful.
I'm surprised a powerful article like this didn't make waves when initially released. Systemic racism? Maybe. This was very insightful.

Systemic racism is the greatest obstacle to eliminating racism. Notice how rudigers continually called out the press for it's role in fuelling racist rethoric?

Actually it did especially in Chelsea circles on Twitter and reddit. I am not sure but I think I posted the link here. It was like 3 or 4 days before the final. Racism in Italy is just too overboard, probably only matched by that of those slavic Eastern europeans. Those ones are racist not just to blacks but to anyone not speaking their tongue.

PDPGuy:
How ta do you think these D’Tigress players are?

are these the sisters that wanted to change their nationality.
