Adelabu, Onovwotafe worried by growing trend of marathon races in Nigeria
Former Green Eagles winger, Adegoke Adelabu, is worried over the growing number of marathon races in the country. “We are in a country, where no one accounts for anything, and my major concern about this growing number of marathon races in Nigeria is for the innocent athletes, who will be subjected to rigorous training. They have no future advantage in this sport,” Adelabu, a sport scientist, told The Guardian, yesterday. Adelabu said that even though marathon races will open up competition for more athletes’ participation, there are more negative sides to it, particularly for a nation like Nigeria that has its strength in the short sprints (100m, 200m, the jumps and relays).
