  • NEMESIS RADAR, UK!! 9 years ago

    Don't joke with Nigerians. We're NOT in the same class with Ghanaians, in very thing. We are your MASTERS in everything including sports. After all, we are the AFCON champions.

    Naija haters can go to hell. Who born dog? ...

  • Avogadro 9 years ago

    Everything, includes kidnaping little school children from their school and holding them hostages. Includes corruption, armed robbery etc. Nigeria is tops in all of them. What a country you have! We don't envy you!!

    Gh Athletics should give these guys maximum support so they can put themselves in a position to bring home a medal at the olympics. These guys have shown they deserve support based on their ongoing performance and improvement ...

    This team seems to have done well without great preparation. Imagine if they are doing some real training and hitting the weight room. They could get the time down.

  • GHFUO: nyantakyi, 1/9aa must go.ASAP! 9 years ago

    If your best time was not.good enuff for gold. Then you must get faster. Bill Gates is getting richer, usain bolt is getting faster....what are you doing? Don't be comfortable with this.....my goal is 3.5 and I want to shatte ...

  • yaw 9 years ago

    stupid article, if the Nigerians won the gold medal, how can (we) Ghana brake the record? or maybe our own record.

  • rachel 9 years ago

    SADLY your comment is not fitting at all - I suggest you try and read the article and instead of negativity you appreciate what has been done - if all you can comment on is negative that is what you will attract in your life ...

    So which country won the gold? Nigeria of course. Why is it that Nigerians keep celebrating mediocrity? At the last commonwealth games, Nigeria came 8th on the overall medals' table whilst Ghana came 33rd yet Ghanaians praise ...

    Ghfuo, are you sure you are not dead yet? Envy kills. You talk of population as a determinant to success in athletics? What is the population of tiny jamaica and how come they are doing well. Go and take your medications!

  • GHFUO: nyantakyi, 1/9aa must go.ASAP! 9 years ago

    @ Rachel: hope what i wrote was not meant for you, don't shower me with your insults and curse, it's a social media just write your own article bro. be bless.

  • CIVILIZED GHANAIAN 9 years ago

    Yaw, the article should have been explanatory. The team broke the "Ghana national record", i.e. the fastest time a Ghanaian team has run the 4x100m.Hope you understand.

  • yaw 9 years ago

    @ civilized Ghanaian: thanks bro. for the good translation, we need good people like you in this media and sorry for how i wrote my article, i was kind of sad bcs nothing is working in this country anymore.

  • COME ON, YAW 9 years ago

    "the fastest time by a Ghanaian team" -allsports.

    "maybe our own record" - yaw.

    THOSE ARE YOUR ANSWERS.
    The information is so clear you should not even have used "maybe".

  • yaw 9 years ago

    thanks bro. for the good translation, we need good people like you in this media and sorry for how i wrote my article, i was kind of sad bcs nothing is working in this country anymore.

  • COME ON, YAW 9 years ago

    Ok, thank you.
    I understand your frustration about Ghana today.
    Our leaders all sectors have failed us.

  • ASARE 9 years ago

    Kudos to our quartet. Hope they will clinch GOLD next time round, having 'graduated' from Bronze to Silver.

    In the 70s when all we eat was "agbeli-kakro", original t-z, mankeni-fufu, eekwe-gbemi, and drink atadwe-milk we were the top spinters in Africa.

    Now everybody is eating chemical filled impor ...

    honestly,with that time, Ghana will come last in Olympic.

  • Vessel 9 years ago

    Thank you afrikaba.
    Our journalists have become tabloid mercenaries, seeking to please sportsmen and politicians for kenkey and fish.
    I watched your link and Naija beat us big.

    Where was the "run for the money"?

    It is even clear from the time difference that we were no match for Nigeria.

  • GHFUO: nyantakyi, 1/9aa must go.ASAP! 9 years ago

    True....the Ghana relay team can eclipse naija. They just need to work on their @start and getting faster especially in the @baton exchanges, @turns, curves.

  • yaw 9 years ago

    what we are asking for, is just good journalists that are ready to write good and true stories, other countries are there winning medals, we're there giving people a run for their money.

  • Ghfuo, heaven is NOT for idiots! 9 years ago

    Taller runners are naturally faster because they have longer limbs, longer legs. A taller, athletic white or Asian will beat a stout, stocky runner simply because of this fact. These athletic recruiters in Ghana should look o ...

    You are dead wrong to say that the taller athletes are naturally faster than shorter ones. All the names you mentioned here are not that tall, but they are when compared to the Ghanaian athlete. You failed to mention Usain Bo ...

    Pancho you are a fool. Article simply says they run faster than any Ghana 4x100m relay has run at the African champs.
