London Olympics
Choosha qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London via a wildcard after long-distance runner Tonny Wamulwa was injured in a road traffic accident three weeks before the games started.[6] She took part in the women's 100 meters in the preliminary round on 3 August and was drawn in heat one, finishing fourth out of eight athletes, with a time of 12:29 seconds. As of 2016, the time is her personal best.[7] She ranked ahead of Afa Ismail from the Maldivies (12.52 seconds) and Jordan's Rima Taha (12.66 seconds) in a heat led by Feta Ahamada of the Comoros (11.81 seconds).[7] Overall, she finished 57th out of 78 competitors, and did not advance into the first round because her fastest time was 0.05 seconds slower than the slowest athlete who progressed.[7]
