Following Tobi Amusan’s nomination for the Female Athlete of the Year Award by World Athletics on Wednesday, Nigerians took to social media to support the world’s 100m hurdles champion and record holder.
Mozez Brown added, “We have the population as a nation. Let’s help Tobi win it. Tobi for Athlete of the Year.”
DaddyMO, a Chartered Chemical Engineer, also tweeted, “Tobi Amusan OON deserves this award for back-to-back world records in the women’s 100m hurdles at the world athletics championships and is the current World, Commonwealth and African champion.” While reacting to her nomination, Amusan wrote on Facebook, “I’m so honoured to be selected as a World Athlete of the Year nominee and the first Nigerian ever to reach this height. I have twice been named Nigerian Athlete of the Year by the Athletic Heat platform, but this is my first international nomination and I want us to win it!”
