Go MJW GO! This rivalry between MJW and Juju is good for the sport. Hopefully fans will enable them to enjoy their sport. These two will be the top two in both short sprints for a long while. My Favourite? MJW. Keep keeping cool. You're an inspiration to many
@AthleticsWeekly Greatness is measured in achievements, in commendations, in longevity, but also in character. A True Great of the Sport. Congratulations
Melissa keeps raising the bar 📈🔥

As he said in his post race interview, the state was directed at Anthony. Apparently they had a bet! Nevertheless the manner of the win was commanding, the pose projected confidence, he not only stared, he eased off, and relaxed his form.
Kayinsola Ajayi beats Oblique Seville in London ‼️
The NCAA 100m champion sees off the world 100m champion, with Ajayi equalling his Nigerian national record of 9.84 🇳🇬
Seville clocks 9.87 for second and Romell Glave improves his PB to 9.97 in third 🌎
@mymanhenri@AthleticsWeekly Yes true, nevertheless that win was commanding, and that pose was full of confidence. This is a sprinter who is confident, and who believes he's the best currently. Notice also interaction with Anthony afterwards and particularly with Tharp who came to him
We are living through some interesting times this season with respect to the 100 & 200 meters Women's sprints. With MJW, Juju, Shachari, Shericka, Tina, in the 100, and MJW, Juju, Shericka, Muibo, Gabby also all in form for the 200. Interesting days lie ahead
We’ve been waiting for these two to be in great form at the same time. And now, it’s on!‼️
🇺🇸 Melissa Jefferson-Wooden beats
training partner 🇺🇸 Sha’Carri Richardson in the Pre Classic 100m 10.78 to 10.79.
I hope these duels continue.
@DrSRJ_ Happy Birthday SRJ, and many happier returns of the day. Wishing you many more wonderful years of enduring service and bountiful reward. Welcome to your new age
@NigeriaStories Quite true. It would be very interesting to note however, how many times the Kwara State House of Assembly said No to Saraki, throughout his 8 year tenure!
@NigeriaStories What appears to be missing is a role for an independent policing ombudsman that will be made up of professionals, and be representative of society, and that will be responsible for investigating and policing abuse and human rights violations by the police
@TaiwoOjeyinka@NigeriaStories In order to avoid abuse by State functionaries, and the turning of the state police into ethnic military, it is important that we have a very strong federal oversight. Let us not not forget that State governors are also members of the National Police Council
@thecableng Actually FDR - Franklin Delano Roosevelt won four elections, served three terms, and died during his 4th term. Nelson Mandela spent one 5 year term, but his Party - ANC - is still in power till this day. We shouldn't befuddle issues.
@NSCNigeria@TheAFN_ Can Nigeria begin to organize two annual international athletics meets? A WAC Tour Meet - Tobi Amusan Classic; And A Gloria Alozie International Athletics Invitational Meet? @NigeriaGov
@elrufai ; so, can we reverse the situation? Imagine if this had been the NSA admitting that he had been wiretapping El-Rufafai's phone without a warrant? It would have been 'Descent into dictatorship ' - Abi? And now?
