World Athletics Championship and Commonwealth Games record holder in the 100m women’s hurdles, Tobi Amusan, has continued her fine run of form in the 100m hurdles, as the Nigerian won with 12.45 time , the second fastest time ever at the ISTAF meeting.
Runner-up to the Nigerian world record holder was the American Tia Jones in 12.58, with Jamaica’s Olympic bronze medallist Megan Tapper third in 12.66.
She hit the last hurdle and was pictured limping at the end of the race, even minutes after her celebrations. But, the world champion revealed afterward that she was okay and is now looking forward to her next competition at the 2022 Wanda Diamond League final in Zurich later this week.
The winner reckoned that, despite her winning time, it was far from a perfect performance: “I need to improve my start and finish. It is a little wobbly,” said Amusan.
Amusan, along with Ese Brume, will compete in the Diamond League final in Zurich this week, as they seek to take the tracks by storm.
