Tobi Amusan wins at Diamond League, breaks 22-year-old record

Nigerian athlete, Tobi Amusan, on Thursday, won the women’s 100mH at the Diamond League final in Zurich.

Amusan broke a 22-year-old record following the win.

The World and Commonwealth Games 100m hurdles champion and record holder finished in 12.29s.

American Tia Jones came 2nd in 12.40s while Britany Anderson of Jamaica ran 12.42s to finish 3rd.

Amusan is the first Nigerian to win a gold medal at the championship.

This adds to her feats this year as she won golden medals at the World Athletics Championship in Oregon and at the 2022 Commonwealth games in the United Kingdom.
