Former Women’s 100m hurdles champions, Tobiloba Amusan has expressed her determination to bounce back stronger after failing to defend her title at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.

Amusan came in a distant 6th place in the final on Thursday, in Budapest,  clocking 12.62, a far cry from what many fans expected from the world record holder.

Reacting to the outcome, the Nigerian star apologized for not meeting expectations and thanked her fans for their support after the race.

“I Just want to say a huge thank you to those who have been supporting me through the ups and downs, Ya’ll stand by me, and keep praying for me, God Bless you all, I am sorry I might have let you all down, but we will be back stronger.

“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,” she said.
