It is five days to the opening ceremony of the long-awaited Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and everything seems to be going well
for Team Nigeria. The team is expected to move into the Games Village today after weeks spent in their secluded Kisarazu camp, where they put finishing touches to their preparations for action.
As was the case at the Russia 2018 World Cup where the Super Eagles were the best-dressed team in the competition, in these games, Team Nigeria will stand out as among the best-suited contingent in Japan. “We believe the team to the Tokyo Games is capable of surpassing the six medals feat which included two gold medals achieved at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, U.S. Our athletes have been ranked in the top three in their respective events and will be competing against the same athletes they have been competing against in the last four, five years. We believe this can be our time.
“The men have been working hard off and on the court with no distractions. They beat the two of the top-rated teams, U.S and Argentina, in international friendlies a few days ago and lost to Australia.“We are not bothered about the defeat by Australia because the coach used the game to test some of the players that are not in the main team. The boys are in high spirit.”
