Amusan’s victory, achieved with a season’s best time of 12.33 seconds, solidified her status as a dominant force in the world of women’s hurdles.
In a race that brimmed with talent and competition, Amusan emerged as the clear victor. Her impressive performance in the women’s 100m hurdles event left her rivals trailing in her wake. Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quin, who clocked a time of 12.38 seconds, claimed the second spot on the podium, while Kendra Harrison secured third place in the race.
Tobi Amusan’s journey to this historic third consecutive Diamond League title began in 2021 when she clinched her first Diamond League Trophy with a time of 12.42 seconds.

Amusan’s path to victory this year was not without its challenges. She faced a suspension for doping violations by the Athletics Integrity Unity (AIU) just months before the World Athletics Championship. However, her unwavering commitment to the sport and her unyielding belief in her innocence led to her exoneration, allowing her to compete on the global stage once more.
