Tobi Amusan storms to back-to-back Diamond League wins and Meeting Record in Silesia

Tobi Amusan, the world champion, continued her impressive form by securing her second consecutive victory in the Diamond League meet in Silesia. She set a Meeting Record and Season’s Best time of 12.34 seconds.

The current World Record holder, Tobi Amusan, showcased her exceptional skills by clocking a Meeting Record of 12.34 seconds (0.9) in the women’s 100m Hurdles at the Silesia Diamond League. She narrowly defeated former WR holder Keni Harrison, who finished in 12.35 seconds, and newly crowned US champion Nia Ali, who crossed the line in 12.38 seconds. Jamaican champion Megan Tapper claimed fourth place, with her compatriot Danielle Williams coming in fifth.

Amusan’s time is her fastest this season, matching Jasmine Camacho-Quinn’s Meeting Record. This outstanding performance catapults her to the top of the Diamond League standings as she continues her preparation for a third successful title defense. Furthermore, this victory marks her second consecutive Diamond League win, following her triumph in Stockholm. She now holds a seven-point lead over Camacho-Quinn, who has not participated in any Diamond League meet this season.

The reigning world champion, Tobi Amusan, has shown in Silesia that she is still a strong contender for the world title and is reaching peak form at the right moment. Her Season’s Best time now ranks as the second-fastest in the world, trailing only Camacho-Quinn’s 12.31 seconds.

In addition to her outstanding athletic achievements, Tobi Amusan has also made history off the track. She was recently inducted into the US Hall of Fame, becoming the first Nigerian to receive this prestigious recognition.
