Nigeria's women disqualified in 4x100m final due to false start

At the World Athletics U20 Championships in Eugene on August 9, Nigeria's women's team was disqualified from the 4x100-meter relay final after Lucy Chiamaka Nwankwo was ruled to have false-started. The team had previously edged out the USA in the heats, thanks in part to Miracle Ezechukwu's impressive performance. The disqualification means Nigeria missed the chance to compete for medals, with Jamaica winning gold and Switzerland and Belgium taking silver and bronze, respectively. Following this disappointment, analysts and journalists reflected on the team's unfulfilled potential and the lessons to be learned moving forward.
