Nigerian sprinter Rosemary Chukwuma has qualified for the semifinals of the women's 100m event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Chukwuma finished third in her heat with a time of 11.26 seconds, securing an automatic spot in the next round.
The heat was won by Poland's Ewa Swoboda, who clocked a season's best of 10.99 seconds. Britain's Dina Asher-Smith finished second with 11.01 seconds.
Chukwuma, who is the 7th fastest woman in the world this year, had a shaky start after appearing to take off before the gun went off. However, she was given a green card, allowing her to retake her position on the starting blocks.
The other Nigerian competitor, Tima Godbless, did not make it through to the semifinals after finishing sixth in her heat.
The women's 100m semifinals and final will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, at the Stade de France in Paris.
