Yes No Indifferent View results Barcelona’92 Star Slams Coaches •Blames them for Athens failure By Duro Ikhazuagbe, 11.29.2004 Chairman of Delta State Taekwondo Association, Peter Oghenejobor does not see any rosy future for Nigeria in the sport unless there is a change of attitude to how we manage sports in the country. Peters, who won Nigeria’s first silver medal in taekwondo when it was non scoring event at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, told THISDAYSports at the weekend that poor management by the Taekwondo Federation robbed the country of gold medals at the Athens Games. "There was no reason why our athletes to the Athens Olympic should not have returned home with gold medals if those in charge at the Federation were not selfish with the team. People who knew next to nothing about taekwondo were asked to lead the team to Athens. So what do you expect from such an arrangement?"queried the lanky former player. The Delta taekwondo boss is particularly worried that the set of players Nigeria took to Athens may not be in the best of sharp for the next games in Beijing, China in four years time.  "This was the best opportunity they had to win medals. Both Martins Obiorah and Princess Dudu are the best in their categories right now in the world. Same with Chika Chukwumerije in the heavyweight category. I don’t know if they will be in the same shape in four years time." he observed. According to Peters the coaches who handled the team did not know what they were doing: "Can you believe that the same Obiora who failed to win any medal has emerged the champion of the European continent? He won the European Championship as the best fighter in his heavyweight category last month, yet our coaches couldn’t manage him at the Olympics."       Sponsors Should Run Federations – Fisher 11.29.2004 00:43 F/Eagles, Jnr Elephants Clash in Nations Cup 11.29.2004 00:42 Ikhana Finally Resumes with Kwara United 11.29.2004 00:40 Odili Inspects NUGA Facilities 11.29.2004 00:36 States Rush-in Entries for Henry and Henry Cycling Championship 11.29.2004 00:34 African Basketball: Ebun Comets Beaten, Eliminated 11.25.2004 23:01 Decree 101: NFA to Submit Report to FIFA 11.25.2004 23:00 NBC Plans Big for Hilton Golf 11.25.2004 22:59 Nigeria Beat Ghana to Remain in Contention 11.25.2004 22:58 Aiyegbeni Loses Manager 11.25.2004 22:57     REMAIN INFORMED WE SEND IT TO YOUR MAIL THISDAY NEWSLETTER Name E-Mail   Who We Are | THISDAY People | Contact Us © Copyright 2000-2004 Leaders & Company Limited This Site Created by White Pages Limited
