Tobi Amusan's possible return date revealed after the disappointment of Paris 2024 Olympics

After the disappointment of Paris 2024 Olympics, Tobi Amusan's possible return date has been revealed.

Nigeria's hurdling queen Tobi Amusan's return date has been revealed following the disappointment of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The women's 100mH World Record holder was axed in the semifinals after finishing third - her first time missing out on a major championship final since 2018.

USA's Masai Russel went on to win her first Olympic title by edging homegirl Cyrena Samba-Mayela at the finish line as Tokyo 2021 champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn settled for bronze.

Following the failure to make the final, Amusan has been absent online but will now make a possible return at the Silesia Diamond League on August 25, against a formidable field seeking to earn maximum points for the final.

It'll be a follow-up to the Lausanne Diamond League on August 22, where she won't be present but a host of the Paris Olympic finalists such as Samba-Mayela, Camacho-Quinn, Ackera Nugent, Grace Stark, Nadine Visser, and Alaysha Johnson will slug it out.

The 27-year-old as the defending champion will hope to overcome the setbacks of Paris by gunning for an outright win or place among the first four in Silesia to still be in contention with those that'll make the Diamond League final in Brussels.

Amusan is on a quest to win her fourth-consecutive Diamond League title, which will extend her dominance in history as the only female hurdler to achieve such a feat.
