’TANA AIYEJINA reports that the invincibility of the Super Falcons has gradually been broken in Africa, culminating in their disgraceful outing at the 2015 All Africa Games

Never in the history of women’s football have record African champions Super Falcons had it so bad like it did happen at the just-ended 2015 All Africa Games, where they lost three straight games and ended up without a medal.

BIG PROBLEMS FOR TEAM NIGERIA IN ‘LITTLE’ CHINA

Rather than winning medals, Team Nigeria’s participation at the 2015 IAAF World Championships was tainted with controversy, as other nations and athletes proved their mettle at the games, reports’TANA AIYEJINA

Prior to the 2015 International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships in Beijing, Nigeria had managed eight medals: four silver and four bronze, since the competition began in 1983.

It didn’t look like it was going to change in China. The women’s 4x400m relay team will compete on the final day (today) of the competition, the country’s last chance of winning a medal in Beijing.
