Blessing Okagbare says administrators to blame for 10 disqualified athletes
There is news about Team Nigeria at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
10 Nigerian athletes were disqualified from participating in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Nigerian sprint star Blessing Okagbrae has given her opinion as to who deserves blame for ten athletes’ disqualification.
According to her, “I have said it before and I will say it again. If you do not know the sport, not passionate about it/us (the athletes), then you have no business there as an administrator. The sport system in Nigeria is so flawed and we athletes are always at the receiving end of the damages.
“They were busy fighting over power, exercising their pride over puma contract/ kits forgetting their major responsibility “THE ATHLETES”. It’s sad that this cycle keeps repeating its self and some people will come out to say I am arrogant for speaking my truth. It is my CAREER.”
The names omitted from the competition by the International Olympic Committee include Knowledge Omovoh, Ruth Usoro, Favor Ofili, Rosemary Chukwuma, Glory Patrick, Yinka Ajayi, Tima Godbless, Chidi Okezie, Chioma Onyekwere and Annette Echikunwoke.
