UPDATED: Tobi Amusan fails to qualify for Olympics 100m

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan, the 2022 world champion and world record holder in the women’s 100m hurdles, has failed to reach the final of the women’s 100m hurdles event at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Friday.

The 27-year-old, who was filed out in the sixth lane, finished in the 3rd position with a time of 12.55 seconds in the Heat 1 of the event on Friday.

However, Amusan’s chance was marred by the subsequent qualification of Jamaica’s Ackera Nugent who finished at 12.44s and France’s Cyrena Samba-Mayela who finished at 12.52s in the Heat 3.

On Wednesday, Amusan led the pack of eight athletes with 12.49s, followed by America’s Alaysha Johnson with 12.61s and Jamaica’s Janeek Brown with 12.84s.

Despite being one of the favomonetagurites for Team Nigeria to win a gold medal at the Olympics, her recent performance is another in a series of Nigeria’s disappointing outings at the Olympics.

Her time of 12.55s left her in the ninth place, just one spot outside the top eight who made it into Saturday’s final.

The qualified athletes for the final of the women’s 100m hurdles include Grace Stark (USA), Devynne Charlton (Bahamas), Alaysha Johnson (USA), Nadine Visser (Netherlands), Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (Puerto Rico), Masai Russell (USA), Ackera Nugent (Jamaica) and Cyrena Samba-Mayela (France).

I officially made it to 30 happy birthday to victor olawale

Good morning, world! 🌅 And more importantly… good morning to ME! It’s Sunday, January 11, 2026… and guess what? I officially made it to 30. Like… right now. Fresh 30. Brand new day. Brand new decade. Still breathing. Still here. Still standing. Thirty feels like the universe just handed me the keys to the “adulting” car… but I’m still figuring out how to drive it without the music being too loud. 😂 This morning, as the sun is just coming up over Lagos, I’m sitting here thinking: Wow… I really survived my 20s. The all-nighters, the heartbreak, the broke moments, the glow-ups, the comebacks, the “what was I thinking?” decisions… and somehow, grace carried me all the way to this quiet, beautiful Sunday morning. To everyone who’s been part of this journey — my family who raised me right (most of the time 😏), my friends who turned into family, the ones who prayed for me, laughed with me, and sometimes had to drag me back to my senses — thank you. You didn’t j...
