Paris 2024 Olympics: Explaining why Tobi Amusan failed to make her first major final in eight years
While several factors can be responsible for her below-par performance in perhaps her last Olympic appearance, here are the vital possible reasons that could have caused Tobi Amusan's failure to make her first major final in eight years.
Following the failure to make the final, Amusan has been absent online but will now make a possible return at the Silesia Diamond League on August 25, against a formidable field seeking to earn maximum points for the final.
It'll be a follow-up to the Lausanne Diamond League on August 22, where she won't be present but a host of the Paris Olympic finalists such as Samba-Mayela, Camacho-Quinn, Ackera Nugent, Grace Stark, Nadine Visser, and Alaysha Johnson will slug it out.
The 27-year-old as the defending champion will hope to overcome the setbacks of Paris by gunning for an outright win or place among the first four in Silesia to still be in contention with those that'll make the Diamond League final in Brussels.
Amusan is on a quest to win her fourth-consecutive Diamond League title, which will extend her dominance in history as the only female hurdler to achieve such a feat.
