Nigeria’s quest for her first medal ended on a disappointing note once again, when Tobi Amusan, finished 4th with a time of 12.60seconds in women’s 100 meters hurdles.
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Porto Rico, who had earlier broken the Olympic record in her semi finals won the race with a time of 12.37 seconds.
American Harrison Keni, came second with a time of 12.52 seconds while Jamaican Tapper Megan, clinched the bronze medal after posting a time of 12.55 seconds.
Tobi Amusan who won her semifinal could not get on the podium despite her spirited effort which fell 0.05 seconds off the winning time for bronze medal placement.
The Nigerian team, which has so far been off the mark, will have to wait and see if it can pick it’s first medal when the remaining track and field events commences later in the day.
