Nigeria's sole entrant in the women's 100m at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships,
Rosemary Chukwuma, has been eliminated after finishing fourth in her heat. The 24-year-old sprinter's time of 11.27s was not enough to secure her a spot in the next round of the competition.
The race was won by Jamaica's Tina Clayton, who posted a commanding time of 11.01s. Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith finished second in 11.07s, also comfortably advancing.
The outcome marks a disappointing result for Nigeria, as Chukwuma had been relied upon to carry the nation's hopes in the blue-ribbon event. Her focus will now shift to other potential events at the championships.
