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,”
