Nigerian athlete, Tobi Amusan, won the women’s 100 metres hurdles at the Diamond League in Zurich on Thursday.
She finished 12.29 seconds to defend her Diamond League title. Tia Jones from the US trailed her after coming in 12.40s while Jamaica’s Britany Anderson ended third.
The Nigerian had won the Diamond League trophy last year in 12.42 seconds. She also set an African record.
Recalling, in July, she became the first Nigerian to win a World Athletics Championship gold. She was victorious in the women’s 100m hurdles in Eugene, Oregon, ending in an incredible 12.06 seconds.
Weeks later at the Commonwealth Games, Amusan grabbed another record-breaking gold medal for team Nigeria. She blazed to a new games record of 12.30 seconds to retain the 100m hurdles she won four years ago in the Gold Coast, Australia.
That same month, she finished second in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Athletissima Diamond League meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.
