Nigeria’s 4x400m relay team to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games rejoice after picking the silver medal behind USA |
Thirteen years after they were awarded
Silver medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, members of Nigeria’s 4×4
Men’s Relay Team had their medals upgraded to Gold on Wednesday at a
ceremony inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The upgrade followed the disqualification of the United States’ team that initially won the Gold based on drug-related issues. Shortly after their decoration with the upgraded medals, President
Goodluck Jonathan announced a cash reward of N5m each for the six
athletes and N7m each for their two handlers.
