osaro_erto said, “They did her dirty..she was the fastest 2nd qualifier and Semi final and 3rd fastest qualifier for final and then they decided to put her in a difficult lane (9). Nobody was there to contest it for her, she really struggled and put in her best. She worth a medal but the whole politics even amongst the Olympics officials made her break down and then Nigeria sports officials too… Imagine people you normally beat come 3rd, 4th and 5th because of the lane they got. We are proud of you favour, you gave it your all 💪🏽🔥❤️💫”.
