World champion Tobi Amusan qualified for the 100-meter hurdles semi-finals at the ongoing 2024 Olympics in Paris on Wednesday. Amusan led the pack of eight athletes with a time of 12.49 seconds, followed by America’s Alaysha Johnson at 12.61 seconds and Jamaica’s Janeek Brown at 12.84 seconds.
Tobi Amusan, the 100m Hurdles World Record holder, is embarking on her highly anticipated quest for an Olympic medal at the Paris 2024 Games. Despite her impressive collection of medals from various competitions, including the World Championship, Commonwealth Games, African Championship, African Games, and Diamond League, an Olympic medal has eluded her.
Amusan’s Olympic journey began in 2016 at the Rio Games, where she reached the semifinals.
Additionally, on Wednesday, Samuel Ogazi, the 18-year-old history-maker, will compete in the men’s 400m final.
