2020 Tokyo: Minister Hails Amusan After 4th Place Finish

The minister of youth and sports development, Sunday Dare, has applauded Team Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan for her heroic 4th place finish in the women’s 100m

Amusan early Monday morning could not replicate the form that saw her win both the Heats and her semifinal races, finishing fourth in Monday’s final with a time of 12.60s, thus missing out on the medals on offer.

She has enjoyed a blistering season, maintaining a high level of consistency which has made her one of the firm favourites for a medal in Tokyo but the interruption on her race from Jamaican opponent in Monday’s final denied Nigeria its medal at the Tokyo Games.
