Tobi Amusan qualified for the women’s 100m hurdles final at the 2023 World Athletics Championships on Wednesday but Nigerians are far from happy with her starting.
Amusan made a poor start in her semi-final race this evening but managed to beat Jamaica’s Ackera Nugent of Jamaica in the final 10 metres of the race with a time of 12.56 seconds.
In the quest for the women’s 100m hurdles world title, the world record holder faces stern competition from Jasmine Camacho-Quin of Puerto Rico and Kendra Harrison of USA who clocked 12.41s and 12.33s respectively, in their semi-final race.
Slow time from Tobi Amusan. She needs to start better to win tomorrow.

Another win for Tobi Amusan today, noticed she’s had slow starts twice now but she recovered well, I really hope it doesn’t affect her in the semi-finals and potentially at the finals too.
