Nigerian sprint icon, Tobi Amusan has failed to make it to the final of the Women’s 100m hurdles.
This came as she finished in third position clocking a time of 12.55s which was also not enough to see her qualify as one of the best losers.
The 27-year-old, who was filed out in the sixth lane, finished in the 3rd position with a time of 12.55 seconds in the heat 1 of the event on Friday.
However, Amusan’s chance was marred by the subsequent qualification of Jamaica’s Ackera Nugent who finished at 12.44s and France’s Cyrena Samba-Mayela who finished at 12.52s in heat 3.
On Wednesday, Amusan led the pack of eight athletes with 12.49s, followed by America’s Alaysha Johnson with 12.61s and Jamaica’s Janeek Brown with 12.84s.
Despite being one of the favourites for Team Nigeria to win a gold medal at the Olympics, her recent performance is another in a series of Nigeria’s disappointing outings at the Olympics.
Her time of 12.55s left her in the ninth place, just one spot outside the top eight who made it into Saturday’s final.
The qualified athletes for the final of the women’s 100m hurdles include Grace Stark (USA), Devynne Charlton (Bahamas), Alaysha Johnson (USA), Nadine Visser (Netherlands), Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (Puerto Rico), Masai Russell (USA), Ackera Nugent (Jamaica) and Cyrena Samba-Mayela (France).
