Nigerian duo of Olatoye Oyesade and Chioma Onyekwere failed to reach the final of the women’s shot put and discus throw event respectively at the ongoing IAAF World Championship in Doha Qatar.

Both athletes crashed out of the respective sports at the semi-final stage, as the country’s wait for its first medal at the ten days meeting continues.

Olatoye’s throw of 16.97m was not enough to qualify her for the final, while Onyekwere who set a new personal best of 61.38m throw in the discus also missed out of a place in the final.
