Tobi Amusan Shines in Rabat with Record-Breaking Hurdles Win
Nigeria’s golden girl, Tobi Amusan, delivered a sizzling performance on Sunday night, storming to victory in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Rabat Diamond League and rewriting the record books in electrifying fashion!
The 28-year-old sprint queen was in a league of her own, flying over the hurdles to stop the clock at a jaw-dropping 12.24 seconds — a season’s best and a new meet record, smashing the previous mark of 12.51 seconds set by Olympic champion Brianna McNeal. What a statement!
Amusan’s blistering pace left her rivals chasing shadows. Close on her heels was the Netherlands’ Nadine Visser, who also had an impressive outing with a season-best of 12.67 seconds, while Poland’s Pia Skrzyszowska secured third in 12.69 seconds — her fastest time this season.
The race was packed with talent and high-level performances, with Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji (12.71s SB), Italy’s Giada Carmassi (12.81s PB), and the USA’s Destiny Huven (12.93s) all showing grit and form. France’s Sacha Alessandrini (12.96s SB) and Austria’s Karin Strametz (13.08s SB) also clocked season bests, making it a night to remember for track fans.
With a wind reading of +1.2, conditions were ripe for greatness — and Amusan didn’t disappoint. This dazzling triumph in Rabat marks her first major win of the 2025 season, a powerful comeback after back-to-back fourth-place finishes at the Xiamen and Shanghai Diamond League events earlier in May.
Tobi Amusan is back — and she’s just getting started!
