She, on Monday, made it to the women’s 200m final, finishing 2nd behind 100m champion Julien Alfred in semi finals.
The 21-year-old was denied participation in the 100-metre race at the Olympics in Paris due to alleged administrative lapses by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria and the Nigerian Olympic Committee, will now hope to write her name in gold in the finals tomorrow.
