Nigerian sprint icon, Tobi Amusan has failed to make it to the final of the Women’s 100m hurdles.

This came as she finished in third position clocking a time of 12.55s which does not guarantee her automatic qualification for the title race.

The current world champion and world record holder came behind United States’ Alayasha Johnson, who had a record of 12:39 seconds and Bahmas’ Devynne Charlton with a record of 12:50 seconds.

Amusan’s 12.55 seconds record was not enough to secure her a spot in the finals.

The feat is coming in the wake of Nigeria’s poor outing in the games.
