Kwara sports boss decries Olympics failure Alao told nigeriasports.com in Lagos that the country must learn a huge lesson from “this disgraceful outing in preparing for future Games.” He believes that now is the time for “Nigeria to start the preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.” “It is really a shame that Nigeria cannot win a single medal (all hopes are not yet lost though). It shows the level of poor preparation towards the Games. The lack of exposure for our athletes is also reflected in this poor outing. We must now start the preparation for the 2008 Games in China,” Alao told nigeriasports.com Alao notes that the only “panacea for athletes migration to Europe and the United States is for the Nigerian sports administrators to tap the abundant natural talents in the country and give them the very best treatment to make life comfortable for them to compete here. The Sports Ministry must also provide adequate training facilities for the athletes to train with in Nigeria and not just pay lip service to their demands.” By Oyinyechi Anyanwu 1
