The Athletics Federation of Nigeria(AFN,) through its President, Chief Solomon Ogba, has disclosed that it would camp athletes representing Nigeria at the fast approaching London Olympic Games in two American cities.
Atlanta Georgia and California are the two American cities that will serve as camps for Nigeria athletes the AFN boss declared.
Ogba however stated that the camping exercise will not come earlier than July 5, adding that the various athletes are already preparing for the Games in their various bases.

“For the sprints and Jumps it will be in California while the quartermilers and 4×4 will be in Atlanta Georgia,” he explained.
