This is my season, Amusan boasts

By Daily Sports Nigeria on August 8, 2024

Women’s 100m hurdles world record holder Tobi Amusan is confident of securing a medal in the event at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris after failing to do so in previous two editions in 2016 and 2020 in Rio and Tokyo, respectively, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The 27-year-old made this mission statement after she qualified for the semifinal on Wednesday, breaking little sweat as she ran 12.49s to beat USA’s Alaysha Johnson, who was 2nd in 12.61s and Janeek Brown 3rd in 12.84s.

Amusan was in high spirits after perfectly exciting her first-round race.

“The first time I came as an Olympian, I was like 18/19, the second time I think I was a little bit experienced and I didn’t get on the podium. This time I think, it’s my season,” said Amusan, who has now qualified for three consecutive semifinals at the Olympics.

He shared that he has been working towards this moment, and reaching the final, being among the top 8 in the world, is a significant achievement for both him and Nigeria.

She is the first Nigerian ever to compete in cycling at the Olympic Games.

Ireland’s Mark English came in 2nd with a time of 1:45.13, ahead of Botswana’s Tshepiso Masalela, who was 3rd in 1:45.58.
