Totally! Her consistent season form gives her a solid shot, though Masai's skills always promise a tight race.

It's surprising Amusan only gathered 28 points from five events; I expected a more dominant performance all season long.

I'm not convinced reaching the finals guarantees any medals; consistency over one season doesn't always translate in Lagos or beyond.

To boost her medal prospects, Amusan should focus on race starts and hurdle technique drills before the 2026 final.
