Quite an uneventful day?

A 7th place finish and a final entrant for the team on day three of the World Athletics U20 Championships.

The most unexpected came in the 200m which had one of the medal prospect for the team getting a disqualification due to lane infringement. A decision that was likely protested by the federation to reinstate Oluebube Ezechukwu after running a best of 22.61s in her heat as the 2nd fastest heading to the final.
