Olatunde fell short in qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, but has responded with a big statement.
As reported by Cathal Dennehy in The Irish Examiner, Olatunde’s time of 10.12 today would have been good enough for fourth in this year’s European final. He was seventh in his semi-final in 10.40.
