Tobi Amusan Sets Another Record In Diamond League Poland (Video)

At the Silesia Diamond League in Poland, Tobi Amusan of Nigeria set a new record to win the women’s 100-meter hurdle.

On Sunday night, the holder of the current record beat Kendra Harrison and Ali Nia of America to tie the meeting record.

In order to beat Harrison (12.35) and Ali (12.38), the current Commonwealth Games champion ran a time of 12.34.

She equalled the meeting record at the Silesia Stadium, Chorzó as well as a season’s best.

Watch highlights:

A fortnight ago, the Nigerian athlete won her first Diamond League title of the year in Stockholm, Sweden.

She is expected to defend her world record in Budapest later in the year.

Amusan had a stellar 2022 where she delivered brilliant performances at the Diamond League, Commonwealth Games, and World Athletics Championships.

She became the first Nigerian world champion after she clocked a wind-aided 12.06 seconds — ineligible as a world record because of +2.5 meters per second strong wind.

The sprinter consolidated her feat with a gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games before retaining her Diamond League title to put a brilliant wrap on her season.

She was nominated for the 2023 Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year award in February.

The award recognises individuals and teams from the world of sports along with sporting achievements throughout the year under review.
