The Nigerian Queen of Hurdles is at it again. All seems to be going great for her, with no sign of slowing things down. 

On Thursday evening, while competing at this year’s ongoing Diamond League in Zurich, Switzerland, she completed the race in a meet-record time of 12.29 seconds. With that win, she successfully defended her Diamond League title of 2021.

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has won the women’s 100 meters hurdles event at this year’s ongoing Diamond League in Zurich, Switzerland.

Amusan smiled home with the trophy on Thursday evening, finishing the women’s 100 meters hurdles in a meet-record time of 12.29 seconds. American Tia Jones came second in 12.40 seconds, while Jamaica’s Britany Anderson finished a close third.

Amusan won the Diamond League trophy last year in 12.42 seconds, thus setting an African record in the process.

She had set a new world record of 12.12 seconds in the women’s 110m hurdles event earlier this year to win Gold at the World Athletics Championship before finishing on the podium at the just concluded Commonwealth Games.
