The Nigeria men’s 4x100m quartet of Favour Ashe, Usheoritse Itsekiri, Alaba Akintola and Seye Ogunlewe missed out on making the final at the ongoing World Athletics Championship.
In Friday’s semi-final, the Nigerian team finished fifth in their heat with a time of 38.20s.
The three countries that made it to the final from Nigeria’s heat are Italy, South Africa and Great Britain.
Italy finished first with a time of 37.65s, South Africa was second after posting a time of 37.72s and third place went to Great Britain who clocked 38.01s.
It was also the same disappointing story for Nigeria’s women’s 4x100m relay team who missed out.
