This is a belated thread that I've been thinking of. South Africa and Nigeria went home devastated on Sunday after the curtains came down in DOha.
These are the two richest countries in Africa (in terms of GDP) but they have nothing to show for it.
Nigeria, with its close to 200 million people and the largest economy, went home with ONE medal; BRONZE!
It was in the field events. I think it was in the jumps.
Yes, Bronze!
If you think Nigeria bungled it up, you haven't met South AFrica.
They went home empty handed.
This is the country of Semenya, Wayde Van Niekark, Luvo Manyonga and Akani Simbine.
