Nigeria’s world record holder, Tobi Amusan, added another milestone to her career on Saturday, setting a new meet record in the women’s 100m hurdles at the New Taipei Athletics Open in Taiwan. She cruised to victory in 12.72 seconds despite a slight headwind, finishing comfortably ahead of Taiwan’s Bo Ya Zhang (13.17 seconds).
The win comes weeks after she secured her first Diamond League victory of the 2026 season in Rabat, Morocco, where she ran 12.28 seconds. Amusan remains one of the most consistent performers in women’s hurdling.
Key Points:
Amusan’s consistency across multiple competitions solidifies her status as a global athletics icon.
A meet record in Taiwan adds to her growing list of achievements, boosting Nigeria’s sporting pride.
Her 12.28‑second season’s best remains among the fastest times globally this year.
Dominant wins in Rabat and Taiwan show she is peaking at the right time for major championships.
She continues to inspire young Nigerian athletes to pursue excellence on the world stage.
Amusan will now prepare for upcoming Diamond League meets and the 2027 World Championships, where she will aim to reclaim her world title.
