World Record holder Tobi Amusan of Nigeria failed to reach the 100m hurdles final at the Paris Olympics on Friday.
Amusan finished third in the first semi-final with a time of 12.55 seconds. She had to wait for the results of the other semi-finals to see if she could advance, but her hopes were dashed when the third semi-final saw two athletes who came third and fourth bettering her performance.
Amusan’s late start cost her a place in the final of the 100m hurdles. Grace Stark of the United States won the first semi-final in 12.39 seconds.
Amusan was Nigeria’s only medal hope, as other Team Nigeria members were eliminated in their respective events. With her performance, Nigeria may end the Paris Olympics without a medal as the event concludes in two days.
