Athletics enthusiasts at the weekend lauded Oluwatobiloba Amusan’s 100m Hurdles won on Friday at the just concluded Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.
They told Tidesports source that the victory was well deserved.
A 110m Hurdles African medallist, Bashiru Abdullahi, said Amusan performed excellently, adding that he knew from the heats that she would win.
“Tobi ran a fantastic race, when I saw her run in the heat, I knew she was going to win the final. Although, I was scared because she was still behind during the fifth hurdles.
“But her last three hurdles to the finish line was superb. She really did great. Congratulations to Tobi for winning the 100m hurdles for Nigeria. I feel so happy,’’ he said.
A hurdles coach, Olalekan Soetan, said from Gold Coast that Amusan’s gold medal was expected, especially with her recent performances.
“Tobi’s gold was no surprise, she ran a couple of 60mh indoor and placed 7th at World Championships, she opened her outdoor season with a 12.73secs wind.
“Later, she ran a lifetime best of 11.31secs in 100m flat, these were strong indications that she was ready for the big stage”, Soetan said.
