She ran faster in the final, but her 12.06secs was ruled ineligible by an illegal tailwind.<\/p>\n<p>Amusan continued her impressive 2022 season with a blistering 12.30s to smash the Games\u2019 record at the just-concluded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/07\/amusan-sets-new-record-wins-gold-at-commonwealth-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commonwealth Games<\/a> in Birmingham with another gold medal.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old athlete also inspired the Nigeria relay team to their first-ever gold medal in the women\u2019s 4\u00d7100 at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with PUNCH, Ogunde, then a staff of the Ogun State Sports Council, said she discovered Amusan when she was posted to Ijebu Ode in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw several reports that Tobi was discovered by someone else, but I want to make it clear that I was the one who discovered her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2004 I was transferred to Ijebu Ode sports council from the headquarters in Abeokuta. I was mandated to cover all areas, including the rural and the urban areas, and I visit almost all the schools back then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the course of moving around, I discovered so many talents and Tobi was one of them. I also discovered Omotola Kuku and the mentor of Tobi herself, Biola Onakoya, who was a 400m runner and so many others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo doubt, one person cannot train a child, but I was the one who noticed that Amusan had what it took to become a future champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was a student of Our Ladies of Apostle in Ijebu Ode and the Games Master then was Adeyemi, though I cannot remember his other name and Dr Adetoye Alatise was the Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Government Area, though he is now the Oba of Ososa Ijebu, he supported our course for the development of young talents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had an U-15 athletics competition in Ogun State and my team won it for two consecutive times before being dethroned by Ilaro and Tobi was part of my success story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ogunde added, \u201cI was the head athletics coach in Ijebu Ode back then, and I had so many responsibilities and people around me. We do have trials, inter-house sports and so many other events and I had to hand over the supervision to one of the trainers known as Charlie Baba. He was an apprentice under Ayodele Solaja back then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was the one that suggested that we merged them all with the athletes under Solaja and Tobi was very good in 100m, 200m, high jump and long jump. The truth is whoever is good in all these fields can easily cope with participating in 100m hurdles, as we saw with Chioma Ajunwa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mentorship has been there before she even met Solaja, but he continued with their development.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 68-year-old Retired athletics coach Alaba Ogunde, has narrated how she discovered world and Commonwealth Games champion Tobi Amusan in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
