Tobi Amusan Misses Automatic Qualification Despite 3rd Place in 100m Hurdles
Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan finished 3rd in the first semi-final heat of the women’s 100m hurdles. This result places her in a precarious position as she risks not advancing to the final.
Amusan, who holds the world record in the event, clocked a time of 12.55 seconds. Despite her impressive record, this performance may not be enough to secure a spot in the final.
At this stage, Amusan’s chances depend on whether she qualifies as one of the fastest losers from the semi-finals. Her ability to move forward now hinges on the results of the other heats.
As she awaits the outcome, Amusan will be hoping that her time is sufficient to earn her a place in the final and give her a shot at competing for a medal.
