Although Clunis met the qualification standard for entry to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, due to an administrative error by the Jamaica Athletic Administrative Association her name was omitted from the country's entry list to the games. Clunis was unsuccessful in an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to be allowed entry to the event. [11] [12]
