Only SA Has My Respect. Take Away Kenya's Geographical Advantage And They Wouldn't Even Qualify For Any Event.

And how has Nigeria used any of our advantage to get medals? Abi we no get River for Niger-delta to practice swimming? We no get beaches to practice beach volleyball? Even in games that doesn't require common sense such as boxing and weightlifting, we no get strength for those too?

Your excuse and envy of Kenya is pathetic. Kenya is not the only country to have such geographical advantage: Eritrea, Ethiopia and Northern Sudan all have the same geographical advantage. Stop beefing.

When other countries were busy winning medals,we were busy disgracing oursevelves.poor preparation;late release of funds for preparation;late arrival of olympics kits to mention but a few are early indications that we were going there just to make up the numbers .i am not surprised dat we came back empty handed.
we are the giant of DISGRACE on international stage.

ThunderingHooves:

We excel in spite of the odds. And because our sportsmen/women put all their heart and soul into their practice sessions They say, "train hard, win easy". That is no idle maxim when you have our sportspeople in mind.

You speak of geographical advantage - if you attribute our victories to nature's providence, i challenge you to harness the same nature to your advantage, and see the results. I suspect you wouldn't get far with that premise instead it would most certainly be due to the the case stated above viz. hard work.

Just to let you know, kenyans are increasingly winning in events not normally associated with them e. g the javelin, where we won silver. Let us not discuss rugby sevens( we were serious medal prospects for Rio, it somehow conspired against us) where we are ranked top 10 consistently for the last 10 years or so. Our women's volleyball squad inexplicably ruined its chances for Rio when they mis prioritised playing schedules over the Olympics qualification ,when they are known to be the scourge of the continent. I can go on,the list is long.

I challenge you to look at the final medals table again, and the all time medals table and see where we stand There is no mistake in either.

Boss, I have to commend you for making such a calm and persuasive argument. You are a good ambassador of Kenya. I can't say that much for myself because I'm now almost convinced that Nairalanders drown their shame by trying to shame others. I'm almost convinced that there is no way to get through to them other than berating like one would with a lazy donkey. I hope you keep being patient with them because I will keep scolding them ruthlessly. I will personally lower their collective esteem.

Africa put up a dismal performance at the Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil when compared with other continents.

The United States once again topped the medals table with 46 gold medals and 121 medals in total. Britain came second with 27 gold medals and a total of 67 medals.

Kenya was the best African performing country with 6 gold and silver medals.

Here's how African nations performed on the medal table:


The others, including Ghana, Togo, and Congo did not win any medal.

Your table is wrong. Niger won a Silver.

It was taekwando where he won silver, I saw it on Supersport last night.

Thank you for the correction. I would make amends to my comment.

Don't say that bro, they won silver medals in men's javelin and 400m hurdles, those events have nothing to do with geography, in fact the guy who won the javelin silver said he developed himself by watching Videos on YouTube.

thanks bro....Same to you man ....

and people were complaining when USA athletes, had to stay on the Silver Cloud luxury cruise ship in Rio ...

WHY WON'T THEY TOP THE TABLE....

That was only the Basketball team and let's face it, even if those guys camped in Sambisa forest, US will still have carried the gold in B ball. Our people were busy trying to find ways to take the money so generously given to Mikel and his team by that Japanese billionaire. Hiss.
I can wager that Dalung has no idea where the next Olympics would be held at this very moment.

Not true. Athletes village is built for every prospective olympian. Each country, team or team member spends additional expense to trade up their living space for the duration of the Games. Same happened to Britain for the rowers and sailors which someone posted here somewhere. Btw, it was one of their players (I can't remember who) who set the whole thing up as the beds and spaces (2/room) was too small for guys who average 6.4" in height to be comfortable. The info is online if u doubt.
I do agree prep is the key for any athlete. We just have no priorities in this country.

smiles....after reading the text in bold...i agree with you ON THAT....

and for we not having priorities in this country...i think i will want you to eat your words back...WHY.?...it is a thing of the mind....we all know the government has been playing their own silly game...that doesn't mean those underneath should cover there eyes...putting all of the blame on the government.
Thank God for Mikel Obi, who helped to cover our unclothedness...while they were been stranded in an HOTEL....if he had played the I DO NOT CARE GAME...the world won't only be interested in bringing them down...and you know the funniest thing...the average citizens are the ones to pay the price of the SHAME

The name Buhari is a curse to humanity, in fact I name the rat in my house Buhari.

Did Nigeria win any medals in 2012 Olympic?

horpeyemmi66:
Where is the dullard?

This government has moved Nigeria from the African continent..

Nigeria is now in Trouble... Just 1 bronze?

alabiyemmy:

2012 was the worst ever.

O my gush!!Am convinced Nigeria can do better than this...#bringBackOurSports Oga aboki

And by so doing all your problems are now solved??

Wait, China came tops in the Beijing olympics tournament, right? How come they can't repeat the feat and not even second position?

Ojoro games or wuru wuru arrangements just to win because they were hosts, I think.

It's not wrong to use what you have to get what you want,despite Kenya being blessed with such geographical terrain,they use it to their advantage ,they identified their strength in long distance races and have held it tight as their tradition to be winning laurels in such event,Nigeria also have such terrain in the Northern part of the country,the problem Nigeria has is lack of proper planning and motivation for her athletes.There should be a road map for achieving success.The southern Nigeria is good in 100m,200m,400m,800m while the Northern part of Nigeria is good in any thing Long distance races,will it be a taboo for the ministry of sports to identify the talents in these areas and move them to where they can be exposed to real tactics of the sports,short distance athletes can be sent to the United States for short distance programs while the long distance athletes can be sent to Kenya and Ethiopia to train with the people that have the sports as there possession in the right terrain and whether for such sports.Mo Farah is representing Great Britain today and has won laurels for them but most times trains with Kenyan athletes in Kenya,now he is a force to be reckoned with in long distance race and he is a Somalian not even a Kenyan.Nigeria has a long way to go.The country is blessed with talents but the management is nothing to write home about.

I'm proud of team Nigeria

Two countries with United leading the pack, United States and United Kingdom!

When the sport minister, Solomon Dalung was saying United States of Nigeria, Nigerians were abusing him thinking he didn't know what he was saying.
Little do Nigerians know that Solomon Dalung had the premonition that countries with United are leading the pack this year(excluding UAE sha )

Rubbish!

*sigh*

Nairaland seems to be the agglomeration point of all the iidiots and incurably stoopid in Nigeria.
