Some Nigerian athletes, including top sprinter, Seye Ogunlewe, and the revelation at Edo 2020 National Sports Festival, Akintola Alaba, may have given up on the plan to join Team Nigeria’s tour of the U.S. ahead of the Tokyo Olympics following their failure to secure a visa to America.

Team Nigeria, which has been on a tour of the United States for three weeks, will participate in another event in Texas today, with the athletes expected to compete with other nations for Tokyo Olympics relay qualification tickets.

Since Nigeria missed participation at the World Athletics Relays in Poland some weeks ago due to some issues, the athletes have taken part in two events held in Texas.

Apart from the third event today in Texas, Team Nigeria was originally scheduled to participate in another Relay on May 29 in Florida, but the organisers have moved the event to June.

Some of the athletes, who spoke with The Guardian from their hotel in Abuja yesterday, lamented the long wait to join their counterparts in Texas.
