Hurdler Tobi Amusan made history on Monday by becoming the first Nigerian to win a World Championships gold in Oregon, USA.

writes about how the 25-year-old world champion overcame her near misses at previous championships to become the world’s number one hurdler

The 25-year-old ran even faster in the final – but her 12.06secs was ruled ineligible by an illegal tailwind. On a day of unprecedented glory and speed, Amusan delivered an extraordinary time; clocking 12.12secs to shatter the former World Record. Jamaica’s Britany Anderson took silver and Puerto Rico’s Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn got bronze.

“I have to admit it was painful for me out there in Doha,” she was quoted as saying after the race. “Finishing fourth is the worst position you can be in, but I have to pick it up from there. I thank God for everything. Now I will concentrate on my studies and then start preparing for the new season. “Hopefully, I can get something next year, especially at the Olympics.”

Despite her fourth-place finish feat in Tokyo, there were signs of progression for Amusan, who had also crashed out in the semi-finals in her debut appearance at the Olympics in Rio.
