Ashe, 22, improved on his performance in the heats and ran 10.08s, while the 19-year-old Ajayi, who stunned the field in his heat on Saturday, produced a time of 10.16s in the second semi-final, which wasn’t enough to get him through.

Reflecting on their performances, Fasuba noted that both men still have a lot to offer Nigeria despite missing the final and also said Godson Brume, who has a personal best of 9.90s but didn’t run at the Olympics due to injury, will bounce back.

“Favour had a very good start. From the start he had, I think from then on he slowed down a bit. Was that his energy finishing? A lot must have been going through his mind at that moment,” Fasuba said during a review hosted by Making of Champions on X.

“Running a 10.00 in that race shows he has a lot in him and a lot to offer for Nigeria; all Nigeria have to do is support him.

“For Ajayi, he was impressive as a freshman, and for him to do what he is doing, all he can do is go back; don’t wait for Nigeria to keep working hard. If possible, get into Europe for some experience.
