Oluwatobi AmusanSigns Multi-Year Partnership Deal With FlutterwaveWomen’S 100 metres hurdles world record holder, Tobi Amusan, believes grassroots development programmes and top-notch training will help the country discover more athletics world champions.“Grassroots sports development is something we lack here and the reason we often lose our top athletes to other countries of the world. “From my experience training in the United States, if we can have such development here, we can groom young talents and unearth more Tobi Amusans,” she said.
On the recent ratification of her record by World Athletics, Amusan said: “That my world record was ratified by the world body means that I am drug free and that I am clean.
I feel great about it. Every time I am on the track, my eyes are always set on how to win and I execute it by winning.”She also spoke on the recent reception by the Federal Government, saying, “It is great feeling that we were recognised by the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In as much as we did the work, it was an honour that they took into account and they recognised the fact that we did the nation proud.
