Odumosu comes last in 400m women’s Olympic hurdles Final

Nigeria’s Ajoke Odumosu failed to ignite the country’s hope for a medal, as she came eighth in the 400m hurdles on Wednesday night.

She followed the footsteps of Blessing Okagbare who gave so much hope in the heats but placed last in the 100m final following 'injury'.The 2010 Commonwealth gold medallist who is also the current African champion in her event, finished eighth in the final after a difficult start to the race, cruising home in 55.31 seconds. Her personal-best is 54.40.
