Tobi Amusan Clinches 3rd Diamond League Victory in 100m Hurdles 

Nigeria’s track star, Tobi Amusan, clinched a win in the 100m hurdles at the Eugene, Oregon Diamond League competition. This marks her third straight Diamond League title. She raced to victory with an impressive 12.33-second finish, edging out Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quin, who clocked in at 12.38 seconds.

Amusan clocked a season-best time of 12.33 seconds to win the women’s 100m hurdles, while American competitor Kendra Harrison secured a third-place finish.

In 2021, the Nigerian speedster etched her name in the history books by clinching her inaugural Diamond League Trophy with a 12.42-second finish. She then followed it up with another victory in Zurich the next year, clocking an even faster 12.29 seconds.

Amusan faced doping test allegation

However, Tobi Amusan faced a significant setback when she was temporarily suspended for missing three doping tests within a year by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU). She managed to clear her name just 72 hours before the start of the 2023 World Athletics Championships.

Despite this tumultuous period, Tobi Amusan couldn’t successfully defend her title in Budapest, landing a sixth-place finish in the finals at Hungary’s National Athletics Centre. Unfazed by the setback, the 27-year-old athlete pledged to return “stronger and better.”
