Amusan’s 12.32 run last month at the Diamond League final in Oregon, where she successfully defended her 100m hurdles for the second time, re-confirmed what would be her third trip to the Games.
Ibadin secured his spot at the end of July when he ran 1:44.65 to set a new Nigeria record in the 800m, while Nathaniel punched his ticket at the Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary where he ran 48.47. Both Ibadin and Nathaniel will be seeking to make their debut at the quadrennial Games.
