Ashe winning in 10.10 and Fakorede advancing too gives Nigeria two reasons to watch the semis. Who looks better placed to go further?

Are you basing your pick mainly on their semifinal performances, or on how they have looked so far?

Two Nigerian athletes reaching the men's 100m semi-finals is a solid showing, especially with Ashe taking his heat ahead of Babu and Stewart.

Qualification is encouraging, but it is still only the semi-final stage. The real test will be whether either runner can convert this into a final place.

The immediate focus should be clean starts and strong execution in the semis; Ashe's 10.10 shows the pace is there, while Fakorede has also earned his chance.
