Nigerian sprint sensation and world record holder Tobi Amusan delivered a spectacular performance at the Diamond League meet in Rabat, Morocco, storming to victory in the women’s 100-meter hurdles with a time of 12.45 seconds.
The 28-year-old not only secured the win but also shattered the previous meet record of 12.51 seconds set by American hurdler Brianna McNeal in 2018.
Amusan’s performance also marked her season’s best (SB), reaffirming her status as one of the world’s elite hurdlers.
The race, held just before the main broadcast, saw Amusan dominate the field from the start, pulling ahead decisively and leaving her rivals trailing.
Her victory adds to an already illustrious career, including being the 2022 World Champion and current world record holder.
Nadine Visser of the Netherlands finished second with a season’s best of 12.67 seconds, while Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska claimed third place in 12.69 seconds, also a season’s best.
Other strong performances came from Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji (12.71s SB), Italy’s Giada Carmassi (12.81s PB), Elena Carraro (12.89s), USA’s Destiny Huven (12.93s), France’s Sacha Alessandrini (12.96s SB), and Austria’s Karin Strametz (13.08s SB). The wind reading was +1.2, well within legal limits.
