“Nothing happened. It was not my day today, I don’t want to
lie, it was not my day today. I tried but it was not my day.” It was hard to
accept because there was a time when I stopped, I ran again and I stopped and I
ran again because I wanted to finish even though I was going to finish last, I
wanted to finish. But I don’t know what happened,” Nyahora told The Herald.
Nyahora making her second appearance at the Olympics after
receiving a universality slot from the World Athletics, pulled out close to the
halfway mark.
The South Africa-based athlete said it was just not her day
as she stopped twice in the first 20km before deciding to withdraw from the
race.
“I don’t have any plan. I just want to rest. I will be
fine,” said an emotional Nyahora as she broke into tears.
It was Nyahora’s second appearance at the Olympic Games
after qualifying and representing the country at the Rio 2026 Olympic Games. In
Rio, she finished at position 92 out of 157 athletes.
