Many Nigerians have expressed displeasure over a trending video showing Nigeria&#8217;s shot put medal hopeful, Chukwuebuka Enekwechi, washing his jersey ahead of his final game at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The TikTok video was initially uploaded by the athlete on his Instagram page, @thechuksay, before he deleted it.
The caption in the video indicated that the athlete was given one jersey for the competition.
“When you made the Olympic Finals, but you only have one jersey,&#8221; he wrote.
The PUNCH had reported that Nigeria’s Enekwechi advanced to the final of the men’s shot put final at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
He ranked seventh after launching his implement to a mark of 21.16m on the Men’s Shot Put Qualification table.
The Nigerian secured a non-automatic qualifying spot for the final after clinching fourth position in Group B.
								
									
										
										
											
										
										
										
											
										
									
								
							
Enekwachi is the 2018 Commonwealth Games Silver medallist and reigning African champion in shot put.
He is also the 2019 African Games champion and the reigning Nigerian National Sports Festival champion. Enekwechi is a 12-time All-American, five-time NCAA medalist, and four-time Big Ten champion at Purdue.
Reacting, Nigerians on social media described the video as the &#8220;latest embarrassment from Team Nigeria Tokyo2020 drama series&#8221;.
The PUNCH had reported how Team Nigeria members arrived in Tokyo with different jerseys, including that of Arsenal, wore different shades of nose masks during the opening parade, and the clash between athletes and officials over Samsung 5G phones.
Also, 10 Nigerian athletes were disqualified for not meeting up with test requirements due to &#8220;officials&#8217; negligence&#8221;.
Jay @Justvibes88 said, &#8220;There are some types of disgrace that one never knew existed before, Nigeria will introduce you to them.&#8221;
Judah Idowu @IdowuJudah said, &#8220;Nigerian leaders know that, no matter how ridiculous any action is, they&#8217;ll still have some Nigerians to defend it. This is why we&#8217;re here and nothing seems to be changing. 
						
							
								
								
									
									
								
								
								
							
						
					
&#8220;There&#8217;s no level of incompetence that you won&#8217;t see some Nigerians defend. No matter how ridiculous.&#8221;
William Akpabio @Wilhelmjnr added, &#8220;Nigeria keeps winning in the &#8216;how low can you go&#8217; challenge. 
We keep breaking our own record in that event.&#8221;
@iamkingmonye said, &#8220;If I catch that angel that sent me to Nigeria, we go brawl tire.&#8221;
&#8220;They thought he&#8217;d lose in the first round, so no need to do waste More money for his jersey New moon with a face,&#8221; @UcheKlasique said.
Adefemi Lawalson said, &#8220;This is so embarrassing.&#8221;
Tega Agbro @AgbroTega noted that &#8220;After this international disgrace the Nigerian authorities will give him five Jerseys for the one day left to show they care.&#8221;
Adararichard added, &#8220;The truth is that even our so-called leaders are not expecting anything good from that perspective, that’s why he was given only one jersey. Don’t be shocked if he wins, there might not be a flag or anything indicating or attaching him to the country on the ground to celebrate his victory.&#8221;

Arsenal&#8217;s Bukayo Saka has been presented with thousands of letters of support after he was racially abused following his penalty miss in England&#8217;s Euro 2020 final defeat against Italy.
Saka endured vile taunts on social media after missing the decisive penalty in the shoot-out at Wembley.
His England teammates Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho were also abused following their spot-kick miss in the final.
The 19-year-old said he expected a harsh response from some fans after his miss ended England&#8217;s hopes of a first major trophy since 1966.
But on returning to Arsenal&#8217;s London Colney training ground this week, Saka was given a display wall covered in thousands of supportive letters, cards and gifts sent to the club.
In footage of the moment posted to Twitter, Saka said: &#8220;I&#8217;m speechless. How do I even say thank you for all of this?
&#8220;Can I just pick it all up and take it home?&#8221;
								
									
										
										
											
										
										
										
											
										
									
								
							
Saka picked up a teddy bear from the collection and said he would take it to his home.
Reading a message from one well-wisher, the young midfielder laughed and said they had invited him to play football in the park and &#8220;let him win&#8221;.

With so much expectation on Rory McIlroy every time he takes to the course at a major championship, it’s no wonder that the Northern Irishman usually fails to perform to the best of his ability. But in far-away Tokyo, amidst the refreshing novelty of competing for an Olympic medal on behalf of Ireland, McIlroy seemed to find a new energy — a new zest for top-level competition.
There was to be no medal in the end. McIlroy couldn’t quite do enough to secure bronze in the seven-way play-off competition, with Chinese Taipei’s CT Pan claiming the honour in the end. But that is a minor detail in the end for McIlroy, who thoroughly enjoyed his first venture into Olympic competition, having pulled out of the Rio Games five years ago due to concerns over the Zika virus.
“I&#8217;ve never tried so hard in my life to finish third,” <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/58040578" target="_blank">McIlroy reflected</a>. “It&#8217;s not a position I&#8217;ve found myself in very often but I gave it my all out there and it wasn&#8217;t quite meant to be, but I&#8217;m looking forward to having a crack at it again. It&#8217;s not just another golf tournament &#8211; it&#8217;s something much bigger than that. I didn&#8217;t realise that until I got here. I feel like golf has its Olympic Games four times a year, but this has a different feeling, it really does. I&#8217;ve really enjoyed teaming up with Shane [Lowry] for Ireland. It&#8217;s like a throwback to our amateur days.”
Perhaps it’s that escape from the pressure and bureaucracy associated with the four majors which explains why McIlroy found a new lease of life of sorts in Tokyo. Generally, golf’s biggest tournaments represent a struggle for the 32-year-old, and in the last few years it’s been a story of missed cuts and missed opportunities for McIlroy in the majors, despite his status as frequent favourite in the <a href="https://www.betfair.com/sport/golf" target="_blank">golf betting odds</a>. He has found joy in smaller events though, winning his fair share of PGA titles, as well as the Players’ Championship which he won in 2019, suggesting that it is just the majors where he faces this mental block.
But competing in the Olympics may well give him cause to hit the reset button. There is something so unique about representing your country on the biggest sporting stage that inspires so many sportsmen and sportswomen. Indeed, missing out on that bronze medal may have given McIlroy a boost to up his game and really carve out a legacy as one of the all-time greats.
Four major titles is a CV many golfers would snap up in an instant, yet with McIlroy’s major drought set to hit the eight-year mark as we move into 2022, the pressure on his shoulders to deliver that fifth success will only grow heavier. It’s been clear for a long time that he has suffered with the weight of expectation, and that he feels much more comfortable in smaller events. There is also the fact that, in an age of supremely talented golfers, winning the sport’s biggest prizes is incredibly difficult.
Having tasted the Olympic Games in all their glory, McIlroy has a new prize to aim for. He’ll be desperate to claim a medal at Paris 2024, and this newfound zeal for golf may well inspire him to start a new chapter in his career. McIlroy’s critics speak as if his time at the top of the sport is drawing to a close. He is still young, still fancied in the <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/golf" target="_blank">golf betting tips</a>, and one can’t help but think that there is a wave of success still to come.

Christian Eriksen on Wednesday met his Inter Milan teammates for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, in a visit to the Italian champions&#8217; training ground.
In a statement, Inter said that Eriksen, 29, paid a visit to the training centre at Appiano Gentile outside Milan on Wednesday morning.
&#8220;The Danish midfielder met the club directors, the coach, teammates and all of the staff present. Eriksen is doing well and is in excellent physical and mental shape,&#8221; Inter said.
&#8220;He will now follow the recovery programme put forward by Danish doctors in Copenhagen, who will also co-ordinate the clinical follow-up. The Inter medical staff will naturally be kept informed and up to date throughout the process.&#8221;
Eriksen collapsed towards the end of the first half of Denmark&#8217;s opening match at the European Championship against Finland, his life saved by the quick thinking of his teammates and the Danish medical staff.
His future at Inter is in the balance due to his pacemaker, as footballers with one fitted cannot play in Italy, unlike in some other countries.
The tests he is undergoing will eventually determine whether or not he can have it removed, allowing him to stay at Inter. 
								
									
										
										
											
										
										
										
											
										
									
								
							
He is in any case not expected to be back in action for another six months, whether he stays in Italy or finds a new club elsewhere.
He arrived in Milan on Tuesday and reportedly had a conversation with Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta before travelling to the training ground on Wednesday to see his teammates and new coach Simone Inzaghi.

Shot put athlete Chukwuebuka Enekwechi believes anything can happen in the final of the men&#8217;s shot put event of the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, as he bids for a place in Nigeria&#8217;s Olympics history books.
Enekwechi, 28, will be competing in the finals of the shot put event on Thursday (3:05 am Nigerian time) and is hoping to become the first Nigerian man in track and field to win an individual medal at the Olympics.
Ranked among the top 12 in the event before the Games, Enekwechi made history on Tuesday when he became the first Nigerian to qualify for the final of the shot put event.
Now he is focused on making further history. 
&#8220;I think in a competition anything can happen, so I&#8217;m glad that I made the final and I think I have a good chance of performing well,&#8221; Enekwechi said.
On representing Nigeria at the Olympics, the athlete, who was born in the US, added, &#8220;It&#8217;s a big honour, I call it the PhD of athletics. It takes 10 years to earn it. So, I&#8217;ve earned it, I did it the right way and I made the final in my first attempt. I think it&#8217;s a great experience in that way.&#8221;
Chukwuebuka, had in a TikTok video on his Instagram page, disclosed that he only had one jersey and had to wash it at night in preparation for the next day’s Games.

&#8220;I was happy I made the final and I get to compete again. People come here and compete one time, but I get to compete twice,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Right after the competition, I went in, I was worked out and sweating and just had to clean my jersey off for the next day.&#8221;
