English: Amusan not present as World Athlete announces nominees for the 2023 awards
Posted : 12 October 2023
World Athletics (WA) revealed the nominees for Women’s Athlete of the Year 2023, but Tobi Amusan, Nigeria’s 100m hurdles record holder and reigning champion, was conspicuously absent from the list.
Last year, Amusan made history as the first Nigerian athlete to be nominated for this prestigious honor and reached the final five but lost to the World 400m hurdles champion, Sydeny McLaughlin.
Despite her successful Diamond League defense, Amusan did not make it to this year's list due to her inability to defend her world title at Budapest 2023 World Championships following a provisional suspension over her Whereabouts Failures.
