GodsOwnMan:

Stop tribalising everything

But, she’s Yoruba girl now. So what’s wrong in that Congrats to her . She’s Yoruba girl representing Nigeria

babag93:
These people train on their own and literally self fund to get in to competition shape.

How did Nigeria help her?

She’s simply unfortunate to be born to Nigerian parents. Because I’m certain she would have gone farther if she wasn’t from this hellhole of a country.

which other further do you expect her to go again ? Abi, dont you understand what to create a "WORLD RECORD" is ... on top of that one, she collect GOLD MEDAL.

How wind take help am,na wao, see as oyinbo just use technicality rob this babe of her glory. Na racism be this oooo.

Forbesdeal:
Super Falcon fails to win bronze medal,coz the only Three(3) Yoruba players didn't play...2 reds and oshola us injured
Yoruba is the only reason while 9ja still exist(Peacefully)

Drop it,I am Yoruba but that your conspiracy theory doesn't work...Tony Payne and Ashley Plumptre are also Yoruba

Bamibor:
Yeah, the time for her final race, 12 06 secs, was eventually adjusted due to wind direction.

Did they adjust the time for others too abi na only her the wind dey blow?

anonimi:
So why is the major Yoruba city a shithole of global reject for scumbags despite the rich legacy of Awolowo and Jakande
Why did we allow a rogue like Thiefnuibu to hold us hostage for over two decades of looting recklessly?

Lagos is a State not city’ again Lagos is the highest state in Nigeria with highest GDP .

Tell me a state in Nigeria that is most populous? There must be a reason for that. Don’t ever in your life disrespect Lagos and Yoruba ever in life .

Lagos is like New York and London to many village people here.

This is how it works....

Whenever an athlete participates in track and field events, including long jump and Triple jump, the wind is always recorded. There is an advantage the wind gives so the allowable tailwind should not be above +2m/s.

So, if you win and the wind measured during that race exceeds 2m/s, you are given the gold but the record is not entered.

In her first race, she ran 12.40s (+1.5m/s) to smash the African Record..

She ran 12.12 (+0.9m/s), to smash the World Record.
She ran 12.06 (+2.5m/s), not recorded.

Save for the long-distance races, javelin, hammer, discus....all other track and field events abide by that rule.

Why ebi say na when she run 12.06 wind come be +2.5m/s ,why!!!!!!!!!?

I understand but, house cat no be LION na... cuz dem be cats no mean say dem dey same category.

Anyway, Obi 4 President!

Those that were not born from the hellhole, how much farther have they gone than her?

Nigeria's in-form sprinter, Tobi Amusan has completed an incredible double by breaking the world record for the 100m women's hurdle and also winning a gold medal at the ongoing world Athletics Championship, Eugene, Oregon.

The young Nigerian, who had initially broken the world record in the semi final by recording a time of 12.12 seconds, won the final in a time of 12.06 swcobds to crown an amazing evening at the WACH.

She would have recorded two world records in One Night had the original time achieved in for her final race(12.06 secs) not been adjusted for wind direction.

All the same, it was an incredible night for the Nigerian athlete who will take home a prize of $100,000 for breaking the world record in the semi final race.

Congrats dear. Pls I just hope you pass the drug test too cos those mofos will check that next.

Just by an oyinbo-trained athlete singing the national anthem?
Please are you for real
Abi e get works you dey do to make Nigeria great again, starting with having your PVC and sharing your vision of how your local, state and federal governments should be run with many other people?

What is the Difference between her oyinbo trainer and a foreign football coach?.
She represented Nigeria and that's all that matters

GodsOwnMan:
Yoruba people eh na dem dey carry this country o! Lets be honest and the rest of us should catch up!

Using Nigerian would have been preferable

Yes, they will say this is how Marion Jones started. The annoying thing is the stand-off by some of them.

Michael Johnson, a man I adored on the Sydney2000 even talked down on her time, that the clock perhaps malfunctioned....that is to tell you that if this tournament didn't hold in the US, they might have disputed the records.

I am proud of Tobi and her Jamaican coach. who herself is a former hurdler and Commonwealth Champion.

Hmmmm....

Stop this tribalising of a thing, was she representing the yorubas, no she is representing naija as whole.

Can you now see why I used the word shady?
After all, the anemometer is controlled and analyzed by a person. Who's to say they would not have recorded a wild speed of 1.9m/s under a different circumstance.

All the same, we should all be proud of Tobi she's been in fantastic form all year.

The wind speed is automated and this is not the first time it will happen.

In the African Athletics Championships in Mauritius, this year...She beat Gloria Alozie's Games Record of 12.7s set in Dakar in 1998, but the wind was above 2m/s as well, so Alozie keeps her record.

It is not even easy to beat a 12:12s, only an Amusan can do that. The OR was 12:37s, and the woman who did that finished 3rd yesterday with 12:23s. Kendra, my baby, who had the former WR did not even climb the podium. We are ok with 12:12s, we no mind.

Yea....

Johnson was talking in the rubbish because their girl Keni was knocked off on home soil. He is still angry with Nigeria since 2000, but no be we cause am. The US had run a powerful, very powerful race in the relays of which Johnson finished with one of the most scintillating of runs. Nigeria came 2nd in one of the strongest relay showings in the Olympics.

Two years later, one of the Americans (not Johnson) was discovered to have been on drugs, they were stripped off the medals and Nigeria given Gold

Sorry. Are you saying they did not record the last race because of the Wind advantage?

marsman:

Yes, it is called wind-assisted and will not be recorded.

What will be recorded will be 12:12s, she set in the semis.

The wind speed is there on the board calculated live , so lets leave all shady stuff .

Bamibor:
They just cited some shady technicality about wind reading to rob her of her second world record time.

The verdict us that a record time of 12.12 secs, is maintained for her.

Now I see where his grouse is coming from. The guy go dey all right.

I have a very good feeling about Amusan still being the one to break that 12.12 secs record and having it for quite awhile

Make e pain am well well
I got the name now: Antonio Pettigrew, he was the one who confessed to using drugs (He ran the second lap). He died in 2010.

Only an Amusan will break 12'12s.......

assholemods:
Chioma Ajunwa was later caught using drugs so remove her name.

Like I would always say, Tobi Amusan really achieved a great feat and brought honour to Nigeria. From your statement, was Ajunwa's medal withdrawn?

They adjust it for every runner's time, there is no hating there.

GodsOwnMan:
bloody haters they are. As if she's the only one the wind is blowing on
