Tobi Amusan ‘stopped’ from making 100m hurdles history at African Athletics Championships
Nigerian did not start in her semifinal heat
A reported sour throat has stopped Tobi Amusan’s bid of becoming the third Nigerian high hurdler to win the 100m hurdles three times consecutively at the African Athletics Championships.
The 27 year old was listed to compete Friday evening in the first semifinal heat of the event at the ongoing 23rd African Athletics Championships in Douala, Cameroon on Friday but the world record holder in the event did not show up.
Sportsnow.com.ng gathered that the Nigerian was not feeling well health-wise and had to skip the event she hoping to win for the third consecutive time after winning in 2018 and 2022.
Only the duo of Maria Usifo and Glory Alozie hold the record of three consecutive wins in the history of the Championships.
