Amusan narrowly missed the podium in Tokyo three years ago, finishing fourth in the final. However, the 27-year-old is confident that this season will be her breakthrough.
“The first time I came as an Olympian, I was around 18 or 19. The second time, I was more experienced but didn’t make it to the podium. This time, I believe it’s my season,” Amusan told Making of Champions.
The semi-final of the 100m hurdles is scheduled for Thursday, and Amusan is determined to make her mark and achieve her Olympic dream.
