Paris 2024 Olympics: Team Nigeria Disqualified From Men’s 4x400m Relay Final

Team Nigeria has been disqualified from the men’s 4x400m relay final at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

 

Glamtush reports that Nigeria has been disqualified for 4x400m men’s relay team for the final at the Paris Olympic Games.

The quartet of Emmanuel Ojeli, Ezekiel Nathaniel, Dubem Amene and Chidi Okezie finished heat 2 with a Season’s Best time of 2 minutes 59.81 seconds

France won the race in 2 minutes 59.53 seconds with Belgium taking the 3rd automatic spot in 2 minutes 59.84 seconds.

It was, however, adjudged that one of the Nigerian runners crossed lanes and that led to the tripping of a South African runner.

The spot won by Nigeria has been given to South Africa.

The Nigeria athletes are looking to emulate the 1984, 2000 and 2004 teams who won bronze, gold and bronze in the Los Angeles, Sydney and Athens editions of the games.
