Nigeria’s sprint hurdler, Tobi Amusan, has disclosed that she carried a knee injury from a fall at training camp into the women’s 100m hurdles final at the Commonwealth Games.She said the setback left her uncertain about her fitness in the build-up to Thursday’s race in Glasgow.Amusan finished third in the final, clocking 12.60 seconds, as the Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton won gold in 12.33 seconds and Jamaica’s Megan Simmonds took silver in 12.41 seconds.The result ended her bid to become the first woman to win three consecutive Commonwealth titles in the event, having won gold at the 2018 and 2022 editions of the Games.She had earlier looked in ominous form, winning her heat in a wind-assisted 12.19 seconds that was not eligible for record purposes but was still the fastest time ever recorded at the Games under any conditions.Speaking on her fitness after the race, Amusan said the injury had weighed on her coming into the competition.“I had a pretty bad fall at the training camp, so I’ve been really iffy about my knee coming into this. I’ve just been thankful that God kept it together for me, so I was able to get it done once again. Honestly, with what I’m dealing with right now, I just want to go get treatment,” she said.Despite the injury, Amusan said she was not looking to use it as a reason for missing out on gold.“Going into the race, I had one mission in mind, and that’s to get the gold medal. But things happen, and I’m not one of those that needs to give excuses. I’m just thankful to have gotten the bronze medal, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season,” she said.Reflecting on what she would change if she could run the race again, Amusan pointed to her warm-up rather than the injury itself.Related NewsAsian football confederation joins UEFA, CONCACAF in opposing FIFA investment plan20 things to know about Franco Baresi, AC Milan’s immortal No. 6Morocco edge Algeria to book WAFCON quarter-final spot“Maybe I would have warmed up a little less when I felt something, and just prepped for the race instead of trying to push it,” she said.Asked what has sustained her run of podium finishes at the Games despite the setback, the two-time former champion credited her work ethic.“It’s all been hard work, dedication, and being disciplined, and knowing what I want in the sport,” she said. “My goals are the things that actually wake me up every day and keep me going.”Amusan added that her heat run had given her a sense of the shape she was in, even though she does not fixate on times.“I’m in very great shape.

I had to do my best to make sure I kept myself warm out there,” she said.Amusan was also asked whether the emergence of younger Nigerian athletes at the Games added pressure on her.
