Nigerian track and field athlete Oluwatobiloba Ayomide Amusan better known as Tobi Amusan, who is the current world record holder in the 100 metres hurdles with a time of 12.12 seconds which she set in 2022, has failed to qualify at the finals of the women’s 100m hurdles at the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympics. The sprinter who was filed out in the sixth lane, finished in third place with a time of 12.55 seconds in the Heat 1 of the event on Friday 9th August, 2024. Tobi Amusan's loss is another disappointing failure of Nigerian sporting teams to win gold medals at their games at the Olympics.
