oh ok still proud of her achievement cool
olapluto:
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.
Ok thanks bro

God bless our basketball players. Despite missing 2 strong NBA players we made it more than difficult for the number 2 team in the world. That coach is amazing and i hope we can keep him.

Would have been better if we had won though.History books would just put it down as a loss to Naija team.

Update so far
Medal prospects still alive:
1. Dream team in semi final. One win away from a guaranteed medal.
2. Efe Ajagba +91Kg boxing. Knocked out his opponent. Seeded 7th, but he's fighting the world champion next. If he wins that, he is guaranteed at least a bronze medal.
3. Women 400m. P.O George and Margeret Bamgbose in the semis. I guess that might be the end of the journey for them.
4. Blessing Okagbare in 100m semi. She looks good to make the final of 100m.
No Nigerian involved all day Sunday. Ajagba fights on Tuesday (8pm Naija time), and Dream team play on wedsday.
Re: 2016 Olympics Thread: Funke Oshonaike Is Team Nigeria's Flagbearer by olapluto(m): 12:19am On Aug 14, 2016
Upcoming medal prospects:
1. Mariam Usman weightlifting
2. Aminat Adebayo and Odun Adekuroye in wrestling.
3. Paralympics.

Is Nigeria out of lonq jump. Havent seen them yet.
Re: 2016 Olympics Thread: Funke Oshonaike Is Team Nigeria's Flagbearer by hinohsend:
Okagbare had a bad start, came 3rd in the semis. She's out.

Nigeria basketball trashed Croatia.
Re: 2016 Olympics Thread: Funke Oshonaike Is Team Nigeria's Flagbearer by olapluto(m):
Mariam Usman comes 8th in weightlifting. Medal hopes fast fading! Football, Boxing and perhaps wrestling all last hopes.

what time will Ajagba fight today? Konyegwachie (his coach) has assured us he will deliver another knock-out and get Team Nigeria its first medal.
Re: 2016 Olympics Thread: Funke Oshonaike Is Team Nigeria's Flagbearer by olapluto(m): 11:00pm On Aug 16, 2016
Ajagba fights in the next 10 minutes. Goodluck Nigeria.

Ajagba out.
Okagbare fails to make Olympic finals for the first time since 2008 when she first went to the Olympics.
Today, our women wrestlers carry our fainting medal hopes.
The football team can secure a medal if they beat Germany.

First Nigerian wrestler out. She might come back to fight for bronze if her opponent gets to final. The beauty of wrestling.

2nd Nigerian wrestler out. Horrible wrestling by Nigeria so far. They might come back for repechage.

I must say that the first 2 Nigerians who lost are the weakest in the team. Aminat Adeniyi and Odun Adekuroye are highly rated. Aminat is 2-0 up against a Finn who is highly rated. Odun fights tomorrow. That is our biggest medal hope.
Re: 2016 Olympics Thread: Funke Oshonaike Is Team Nigeria's Flagbearer by olapluto(m): 3:26pm On Aug 17, 2016
Aminat down to 4-2. She's trying too hard to pin her opponent. Now the fight is scrappy, head knocking. Heading to 2nd period. Aminat down.

olapluto, thanks for the updates. NBC only shows non-soccer, basketball or water polo events on tape-delay.
