As Tobi Amusan has not been included in the women’s 4x100m team, she wouldn’t have much of a distraction in her quest to win the 100m hurdles..

Remarkably, no team has yet to win the World Cup and the Olympic gold in consecutive years🙆🏾

Brazil winning the gold would be a fitting tribute to Marta’s long career

Brazilian women advance to their FOURTH Olympic final! I think they are second only to the U.S., in terms of final appearances

That isnt the current ranking... it is the power ranking for the ongoing olympics... more or less a ranking of the favorites

Not correct. Nigeria was ranked 5th in the FIFA rankings of 1994

Was referring to current rankings

Latest FIBA Power rankings have been released!

This means that D’Tigress are now the highest ranked Nigerian national team, men or women (across all sports)😤😤

Favour Ofili advances to the 200m final in 22.05s!

Remember she qualified for the semis in a time of 22.24 seconds. Now, her semifinal time suggests she would win a medal in this event, at the tender age of 21.

🚨🚨 Medal alert for Nigeria

Nigeria’s Blessing Oborodudu has won Nigeria’s first medal at these Olympics!

She defeated her French opponent, 6-2, in the women’s 68kg wrestling quarterfinal to advance to the semis. Wrestlers who advance to the semis are guaranteed a bronze medal, at the very least.

Seems you have given up against USA. I know our chances of beating the Americans are very slim, but anything can happen.

I’m holding out on a slim hope of an upset. But if that doesn’t happen, I won’t be too disappointed either

I am not sure what you mean by "they can only exercise that right when they reside in US territory". A PR citizen is also a US citizen and have every rights a US citizen does except for representation in Congress. It means they can vote but their vote cannot count in Congress. A few other things tax related but that's about it. They can live and work in the US and get same respect outside of the US like a US citizen.

For the bolded, actually PR citizens are technically only “US nationals”. By that designation, they cannot vote in U.S. presidential elections (except a PR resident takes up residency in any of the 50 states and/or DC); but they’re qualified to hold US passports

Puerto Rico is part of America @Marjoribanks. They all have US citizenship.

The reason I asked this was Because I found that even when Hawaii and Alaska were not yet states, status just like PR. they still competed under team USA. So why is PR different then?
