Thank you Amusan! At least make we use this one hold body for all the world cup woes wey that greedy, selfish, uncommitted, unpatriotic, indispline, stubborn, arrogant osimhen cause ….
Congratulations tobi Amusan am proud of you. You are favoured
Congratulations Tobi (Express) Amusan for winning the Silver medal for Nigeria. Had you had a better start, you would have won the Championship Gold. You had to claw back as at one time you were 5th in the race. Had there been another 10m you would have caught up with, and beaten Kambundji, the Gold winner!
Tobi Amusan was destined for 1st place, but her slow start due to precaution of false start had a toil on her. She had to dig deep from 6th place to end 2nd and even near the 1st place if there was another hurdle. Girl has a lion heart and must be celebrated. On this day I love Tobi even more!
Congratulations tobi Amusan am proud of you
