After a wonderful outing at the just concluded Africa Gymnastic Level system in South Africa, Team TIG says the future of Gymnastic in Nigeria is not certain.
Team TIG won 10 gold, 6 silver and 6 bronze medals at the just concluded Africa Gymnastic inter club championship.
Some of the gymnasts who spoke to journalists at the weekend in Abuja lamented over the poor state of training equipments. Others called for proper attention of the federal government in developing of other sports.
Head coach of the team, Tony Asuquo lamented over what he called nepotic attitude of some individuals in the federation.
”We did our best in South Africa, our record speaks volumes, but we are constrained because those leading the federation are nepotism andsentimental. We cannot grow the sport if our reward system is a failure”.
Coach Asuquo who is a board member of the Gymnastic Federation of Nigeria has constantly maintained the need of getting the right equipments, so as to enhance gymnastics in Nigeria.
