Ugandan female sprinter Shida Leni has qualified to represent the country at the Tokyo Olympics.
Leni made the cut after impressing at last month’s races in Italy and Switzerland where she amassed enough ranking points.
the 27-year-old ran 400m under 52 seconds at the World Athletics Continental tour in Geneva (51.81) before replicating the same performance (51.89) in Italy.
Celebrating her dream milestone on Instagram, Leni expressed how she intends to smash the National Record in Tokyo.
The Tokyo Olympics women’s 400 metres will take place over three separate days at the Japan National Stadium.
Round 1 will unfold on August 3, Semifinals on August 4 and the Final on August 6.
