Nigerian sprint hurdling phenomenon, Tobi Amusan, delivered another world-class performance to claim victory in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Paris Diamond League on Sunday with a season-best of 12.27 seconds (+0.7m/s).
Amusan edged out Grace Stark, who placed second in 12.38, while Alaysha Johnson rounded out the podium in 12.39. Remarkably, this marks the third time in the 2026 season that Amusan has produced an outstanding performance in the 12.27-12.28 range, underscoring his exceptional form as the track and field season gathers momentum.
Last week, Tobi Amusan was listed as one of Nigeria’s representatives at the 2026 Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow, Scotland from July 23 to August 2. He is expected to once again defend his 100mH crown which he won in Gold Coast, Australia and Birmingham, UK in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
