 | | Blog It Nigerian athletics buffs do not expect their team to return from the 10th IAAF World Championships in Athletics, beginning in Helsinki, Finland today, with a clutch of gold medals, after inadequate preparation and the inexplicable decision of the new board of Athletics Federation of Nigeria to leave out the menâs 4x400m relay team. |
 | | Incidentally, the World Championships began as a quadrennial affair in Helsinki in 1983, where the greatest talent of them all, Carl Fitzgerald Lewis, was born. |
