Tobi Amusan, the reigning world women’s 100m hurdles champion and record holder, has been conspicuously absent from the recently unveiled Team Nigeria roster for the impending World Athletics Championships. The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) disclosed their list of 26 athletes, comprising 11 male and 15 female contenders, slated to compete in the highly anticipated event scheduled to grace Budapest, Hungary, from August 19 to 27.
Eyes are fixed on silver medalist Ese Brume, whose aspirations of clinching gold this year shine bright. Brume, who impressed at last year’s championships, is joined by Ruth Usoro in the long jump event, while Sade Olatoye (Hammer) and Chioma Onyekwere (Discuss) are prominent names amongst the female participants listed by AFN.
