"Hard work pays. Tobi is a hardworking girl who believes so much in herself and her coach (Jamaica's Lacena Golden-Clark). She didn’t give up after coming close to making the podium twice, first at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar in 2019 where she came fourth and at the delayed 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan where she also came fourth, losing by the narrowest of margins, especially in 2019. She never doubted herself or her coach."
