Nigeria’s Sprint hopes dashed as Ajayi, Ashe crash out
Nigeria’s sprint ambitions at the Paris 2024 Olympics suffered a setback as both Kayinsola Ajayi and Favour Ashe failed to qualify for the men’s 100m final.
The duo, who had shown promise in the heats, couldn’t match the pace of the world’s best sprinters in the semi-finals.
Ajayi, the reigning Nigerian champion, and Ashe, a rising star, were unable to secure a place among the top two finishers in their respective races.
