He was the biggest prospect to join the 15-man contingent to the London games.
But the fall began yesterday for sprinter Ali Ngaimoko.
The police constable could not last the distance as he failed to meet the 45-second barrier, missing the summer Olympics.
His spikes fell in the heated race hampering his dream at the Charles de Gaulle stadium in Porto Novo.
It was his last chance and the opportunity was squandered.
Today, Ngaimoko fell out in semifinal of the 200m. He finished fourth on 21.03.
Ngaimoko was tossed about for over half an hour and the outcome was he did not make it to the Olympics.
