Chief Coach of the Nigerian Weightlifting Federation, (NWF) Patrick Bassey has disclosed that the lifters in camp are well motivated for the Olympic qualifiers billed for Nairobi, Kenya
Speaking to Sunday Vanguard Sports at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Dan Anyiam Stadium, the Olympian said the training the lifters are undergoing will yield dividend when the qualifiers kick off in March 28 - April 2, 2012.
He appealed to the National Sports Commission, NSC to keep to its promise of ensuring the team jet out to Nairobi with a full squad.
"We have been taken the lifters through rigorous training bearing in mind the preparation of the other countries which we cannot monitor. The only fear is for them not to pick any injury. Nevertheless, we are training with caution so they can avoid being injured.
"I just have to say this that the spirit the lifters are displaying will be difficult for anybody to take them to the cleaners. My prayer is that the National Sports Commission keeps to their promise of us going to the championship with a full team," Coach Bassey said.
