Say it again - Azamati eats one or two hamburgers so now he thinks he’s too big. He’s now an Afro-Ghanaian.

You people!!! Excuses anytime you perform poorly. You can't beat the guy from Cameroon. He was too fit and good to be beaten. From the races I saw on TV yesterday, you will place 4th in the final.

Stopped, the blame game and face the fact. Some of the athletes are better than you and you can’t beat them. You know the weather is a factor but you decided to come in late and complain. You might have genuine concern, as far as the weather is concerned but, who to blame. Yourself and poor planning.

A good athlete or player never complains about weather or pitch. This guy and the south African hockey team are not professionals, they're dumb and not good, that is why they're finding excuses. Metcheeew!!!

He is right! A lot of Ghanaians do not understand track. Track can be erratic. One little thing can take you out of your race. Conditioning is very important. 1 week? Not adequate enough. This guy runs 9.99 so running 10.41 in the final indicates injury or poor preparation.

He should have factored in the acclimatization. So he should have been in Ghana beyond 2 weeks.

He shouldn't now blame the weather.

My friend stop the nonsense and train harder. When you were 1st in the heats did you complained? Just accept your position, go back to the drawing board and come back next time. Good luck next time.
