Tobi Amusan Fails To Qualify For Olympics Final After Finishing 3rd In Women’s 100m Hurdles

Nigerian sprint star, Tobi Amusan did not advance to the final of the Women’s 100m hurdles at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Tobi Amusan finished third in her semifinal with a time of 12.55 seconds, which was not fast enough to qualify as one of the fastest losers.

After missing out on the two automatic final spots, she hoped to make it through as one of the fastest non-qualifiers. However, her time was not sufficient to secure a place in the final eight.

Amusan, the world record holder in the 100m hurdles, had a strong performance in the preliminaries, winning her heat with a time of 12.49 seconds.

Unfortunately, she did not improve on that time in the semifinals.
