Nigerian sprinter, Seye Ogunlewe narrowly missed out of finishing in a medal position in the men’s 100 metres final of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia on Monday.
Ogunlewe placed fourth after recording a personal best time of 10.19 secs in a photo-finish with Jamaican athlete Yohan Blake.
The Jamaican also posted 10.19 secs.
However, it was Blake who was given third-place and the bronze medal after a much-deliberated review by the officials.
The other Nigerian in the final, Enoch Adegoke, finished seventh with a time of 10.35 secs.
Akani Simbine from South Africa won the 100m gold with a time of 10.03 secs, while his compatriot Henricho Bruintjies won silver with a time of 10.17 secs.
