Nigeria’s sprint hurdling queen, Tobi Amusan, continued her impressive run of form by storming to victory in the women’s 100 metres hurdles at the Paris Diamond League, reinforcing her status as one of the world’s finest athletes ahead of the major championships.
The world record holder produced another commanding performance, crossing the finish line in 12.28 seconds to equal her season’s best and comfortably finish ahead of American pair Grace Stark, who clocked 12.38 seconds, and Alaysha Johnson, who finished third in 12.39 seconds.
The triumph marks Amusan’s second Diamond League victory of the 2026 season and the third time this year she has recorded the remarkable time of 12.28 seconds, highlighting her consistency on the international circuit.
Competing under sweltering conditions at Stade Charléty in Paris, the Nigerian star maintained her composure from the start, clearing each hurdle with precision before surging away from the field to seal another convincing victory.
The latest success further boosts Amusan’s confidence as she prepares to defend her Commonwealth Games title and challenge for more honours on the Diamond League circuit later this season.
With her latest triumph in Paris, the 29-year-old has once again sent a strong warning to her rivals, proving she remains the woman to beat in the 100m hurdles and one of Nigeria’s brightest medal prospects on the global athletics stage.
