Tobi Amusan, the world record holder in the 100m hurdles, failed to advance to the final of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Despite a strong performance earlier in the heats with a time of 12.49 seconds, she finished third in her semifinal with a time of 12.55 seconds, which was not enough to secure a place in the final or as one of the fastest losers. This outcome is a disappointment for Nigerian fans, who had high hopes for Amusan to repeat her previous successes, including her world record-setting performances and gold medal at the 2022 World Championships.
