Nigerian sprint queen Tobi Amusan has once again proven her dominance on the global stage, storming to victory in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Rabat Diamond League with a jaw-dropping 12.45 seconds, setting a new Meeting Record (MR) and Season’s Best (SB).
Amusan’s blistering performance shattered the previous meet record of 12.51s, held by American Brianna McNeal since 2018. The race, which took place just before the main broadcast, was packed with fierce competitors, but the Nigerian star left no doubts as she surged past the field with unmatched speed and grace.
Behind Amusan, Nadine Visser of the Netherlands clocked 12.67s to finish second, while Pia Skrzyszowska of Poland secured third with 12.69s — both recording their Season’s Best times.
