        since when did qualifying for Olympics become Glory-hunting? How does one get a gold? Isn’t it by trying?

        Didn't they have to qualify to be in the olympics? Anyone who cares to read their story on their journey to the Olympics will be inspired, African or not. So call them whatever you like WE LOVE OUR PEOPLE no matter where they are in USA, Europe or Mars. ka Chineke mezie okwu

        I see this as racism. Why would Africans not be at the Winter Olympics? You should hold your heads in shame. Talk of disrespect. You have crossed the line. When will you accept that we are unstoppable?

        How does qualifying for the Olympics make anyone a “glory-hunter”? Shame on you @BBCAfrica for publishing such trash.
