Tobi Amusan
In a stunning display of speed and precision, Nigeria’s sprint sensation Tobi Amusan roared back to dominance at the Diamond League meet in Rabat, Morocco, breaking the meeting record in the women’s 100m hurdles with a blazing time of 12.45 seconds.
Amusan, the reigning world record holder, reminded the world why she is a force to be reckoned with as she soared over the hurdles, leaving her rivals trailing in her wake. With a flawless performance and the crowd firmly behind her, she crushed the previous meet record of 12.51 seconds set by American Brianna McNeal in 2018.
The race was not just a win, it was a statement. Dutch hurdler Nadine Visser crossed the line in second with 12.67 seconds, followed closely by Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska in 12.69 seconds. But the night belonged to Amusan, whose season-best performance now stands as one of the year's fastest times.
This victory is a powerful boost for the Nigerian star ahead of the Olympic season, as she reasserts her dominance and sends a clear message to her global competitors. With this performance, Amusan secured gold and reignited the fire of her championship spirit, firmly positioning herself as Africa’s queen of the hurdles and a top contender for Olympic gold.
