Yesterday or so some doping allegations came up and its alledged that undercover journalists claim that a kenyan coach was willing to tell of how kenyans cheat. I belive its a lie. Just google kenya at the olympics and see what pops up.

Half time. Nigeria leading Lithuania by 5 points. Our defense is super good. We are just forcing turnovers on them.

Aruna Quadri plays at 1:30 Nigerian time. I will stay up to watch it too.

I suppose one has got to beat the best to get a medal,whether in first round or final.

I'd rather the Final and get bronze or silver.

Likewise.
Fixtures were basd on seeding (best seeds face lowest seed etc) rather than random fixtures. This being the case our participants were always going to get more difficult matches.Aruna is ranked 40 and Toriola is ranked 120.
Until they improve their rankings /seeding,they'll always get difficult matches.

yeah you are right but it means the Table tennis people don't want to give underdogs a chance at glory. They can simply go the route of the euro's let the big boys knock themselves out and let the lesser seeds knock themselves out too. Then set up a battle of the two groups it adds spice to the game. Its somehow starting to have this monotonous feel. Its seems no one can challenge for top honours.

super proud of chierika ukogu, aruna quadri and d'tiger really did us proud

does anyone have definitive info on ukogu? cos i'm hearing conflicting stories that she's not in the semis but will race instead in a classification round.

quadri was just awesome beating two higher ranked players in a row no be beans. no shame in losing to the world number #1. might have gotten a medal if the draws were favourable.

d'tigers were great last night despite the loss. watched the game live. we really matched the lithuanians even outscored them in 3 of the 4 quarters. unfortunately the blow out in the 3rd quarter was too much for the d'tigers to make up in the 4th. still worried about their chances of making it out of the group but supporting them nonetheless.

Ukogu is in classification. Nigerian sports journalists are lazy bones. smh. She lost her Quarter final and no way she could have made the semi finals A or B.

It is just like basketball I guess. You get a placement based on your final finish. Semi finals A and B are the only ones that can lead to medal. Others are just to get a place. For example, the Togolese lady is in Semifinal E/F, she lost out in the first round.
