- Mrs Tinubu encourages Amusan despite World Athletics Championship loss

Amusan enjoyed a superb run on her way to Thursday’s final despite only getting cleared to compete by Athletics Integrity Unit two days before the start of the World Athletic Championship.

In an interview with journalists after the race, Amusan admitted it was a difficult experience for her to get into the final and said, it was quite “a journey getting into the final” despite all she had gone through in the last couple of weeks. She said, “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.”

For missing out on the Gold, Amusan apologised to all her supporters across the globe adding that she would come back stronger. “I just want to say a huge thank you to who has been supporting me through the ups and downs, Ya’ll 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,” she said.All rights reserved.
