The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
I specially use this medium to celebrate some of the outstanding athletes such as Dani Alves, the 38-year-old Brazilian football player who captained his country’s football team to the football gold medal and thus became the most decorated football player in history after Brazil defeated Spain 2-1 in the Olympic Final last Saturday. This medal takes the ex-Barcelona man’s personal trophy haul to 43.
It was not until the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics in USA that Nigeria was able to better previous outings with 1 silver and 1 bronze to place 30th on the medals table. Peter Konyegwachie won the silver medal for us in boxing while we won the bronze in the Men’s 4×400 metre relay.
