As Predicted, the Super Four – Ella Onojuvwevwo ➡️Patience Okon-George ➡️Elo-Joseph ➡️Omolara Ogunmakinju are African Champions 🔥🎖🎊 finishing 4.27.31 though this wasn’t enough to earn the needed “q” to be in Paris as a medal contender.
The Athletics Federation of Nigeria bungled their chances right from the appalling and inept preparation towards the World Relays in Bahamas. The own the “visa issues” blame 💯
Between May 5th and June 30th, they had the chance to register these athletes for at least 2-3 meets well spread out but even the National trails where they were initially scheduled to run never happened.
To make matters worse, three of the Female quartermilers who ran this race were atrociously managed before today. Only Omolara was duly rested ahead of today .
🎙
Ella had NO business running the mixed relays, Elo Esther Joseph was overused running 1200m in the last couple of days and Patience Okon-George was fatigued ahead of today as well. Reason I managed my expectations and even promised to do giveaway if a miracle had happened in Douala today.
Well, the ladies remain our heroes, they gave all they had but it just wasn’t enough, no thanks to the multiple spanners thrown in their way by the usual suspects.🙄🙄🙄
