Tobi Amusan, world record holder in the 100m hurdles has declared that she will give her very best at the Stade de France today in the semi finals of Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Amusan has now qualified for three consecutive semifinals at the Olympics.
Amusan, a three-time (consecutive) Diamond League winner, two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, two-time African champion, and three-time African Games gold medallist, has participated in two Olympic Games (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020).
She cruised into the semi-finals of the on- going Olympic on Wednesday, running a time of 12.49s to beat USA’s Alaysha Johnson, who was second in 12.61s and Janeek Brown third in 12.84s.
The Nigerian will line up against reigning world champion Danielle Williams, USA’s Grace Stark, Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas as well as four others in the first of three semi-finals.
The first two in each race will then compete in Saturday’s final, while the two fastest non-automatic qualifiers will also join them.
Her words : “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,”
