Nigerian track and field athlete, Tobi Amusan has expressed happiness after she qualified for the women’s 100 metres hurdles semi-finals yesterday, in Budapest.
According to reports Amusan won her qualifying heat in the women’s 100 metres hurdles to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
The 26-year-old, whose world record is 12.12, was slow out of the blocks before cruising to a time of 12.48 seconds, third fastest on the night.
Amusan’s presence at the global showpiece was a surprise to many, with her suspension lifted just two days before the World Athletics Championships began.
However, Amusan could still face an appeal that could potentially reinstate the ban.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) provisionally suspended Amusan in July because of three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period.
