Ayomide Temilade Oluwatoyosi Folorunso (born 17 October 1996) is a Nigerian-born Italian athlete specialising in the 400 metres hurdles.[2] She competed in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing.

Biography

Her family is originally from Nigeria, but since 2004 Ayomide has settled with her parents, mother Mariam and father Emmanuel, a mining geologist, in Fidenza. She failed to wear the azzurro at the 2013 World Youth Championships in Athletics despite having obtained the minimum in five specialties, because she received her Italian passport a few days after the world championship,[3] therefore she is member of the Italy national athletics team.
