World record sprint czar, Tobi Amusan, has now bagged a Masters degree from University of Texas El Paso in the United States of America.
With this, the Nigerian sprint star has added another feather to her great collection of laurels.
In 2021, the sprint sensation shocked the world by winning an Olympic Gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after setting a world record in the semi-final of the event.
The current world champion in the 100m hurdles has now taken to her page where she posted her graduation photographs with videos from the ceremony ground.
In doing so, she gave praises to Elohim, with a narration on how she received divine inspiration that led to the master’s degree from enrollment to graduation.
She wrote, “ELOHIM is forever WORTHY of my PRAISE! ”
“Sat in my bed on a cold Tuesday night after an intense workout session on the 14th of Dec. 2021.
“Thoughts of the oncoming athletics year crept into my mind; long story short.
“If 2022 …; it’s gonna be my quit year! I cried; PRAYED & came to the conclusion that I might as well start my Master’s program.
“Took my laptop; browsed through UTEP’s MSc college requirements and of course I needed a 100 percent online course due to the nature of my job.
” I called one of my mentors @omoba_abiola1 and proceeded to see him…sent the email to the liberal arts faculty advisor, submitted the required documents & got enrolled in less than two weeks.”
Amusan is among other Nigerian athletes expected to feature in this year’s World Athletics Championship in August.
