Nigeria’s sprint queen, Tobi Amusan, delivered another world-class performance at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships, storming to a silver medal in the women’s 100m hurdles final with a blistering 12.29 seconds finish.
The race was won by Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, who clocked a new National Record of 12.24s to claim gold, while the USA’s Grace Stark secured bronze in 12.34s.
American hurdler Masai Russell narrowly missed out on the podium, finishing fourth in 12.44s.
Amusan, the world record holder with her stunning 12.12s set in Eugene in 2022, once again proved her consistency on the global stage, reaffirming her status as one of the leading hurdlers in the sport.
Her silver adds to Nigeria’s medal tally and fuels hopes for further success as the championships continue.
