Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has praised World Hurdles record holder, Tobi Amusan after she lost her World Championship title to Jamaican Danielle Williams at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
Recall that Tobi Amusan, who won gold in the 100 meter hurdles at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA, on Thursday, August 24, lost the Championship to Jamaican Danielle Williams.
The former World Champion managed to finish 6th in 12.62, a speed which was far less from the wind-aided 12.06 seconds that she used to win gold last year.
The First Lady, who spoke via her official Twitter (X) handle said, “Well done our beloved Tobi. We are proud of you. Return home to refresh yourself for the victory that awaits you.”
Prior to her participation at the competition, Amusan had issues with the Athletics Integrity Unit, which gave her approval just two days before the World Athletic Championship got underway in Budapest.
Speaking on her performance, Tobi Amusan acknowledged how it has been a difficult ride to reach the finals, describing it as quite “a journey getting into the final”, considering all she’s been through weeks before the competition started.
She said: “I just want to say a huge thank you to who has been supporting me through the ups and downs, you all stood by me, kept praying for me, God Bless you all, I am sorry I might have let you all down, but we will back stronger definitely.
“Yeah, it’s a tough one; nobody likes to lose but considering what I have gone through in the past couple of months, I’m so grateful that I came out.”
