Tobi Amusan is the best when it comes down to the best. Tobi Amusan is even in the first row. The 25-year old athlete beat her competition in the 100m hurdles with disconcerting ease. It was the same story every time she wore her spikes and ran on the tracks around the globe.

Tobi Amusan has a record-breaking season
She was pushed to her limits by every race she competed in. Tobi Amusan was the dominant competitor at each competition. He now has to fight for honors. The chrono was its only real competitor. African champion in Mauritius, world champion in Eugène, double champion of the Commonwealth Games (100m hurdles and 4X100m), she ended the season with this final victory in the Diamond League. She set a new record in all these athletics events. Kendra Harrison’s world record (12s27), set in 2016 by her 12s12, is gone at the 2022 Internationals in Eugene. This was the highlight. She takes revenge on the Olympic champion in the final. Jasmine Camacho QuinnShe wins easily.
Another day, another medal of gold @Evaglobal01 🥇

More impressive than Rojas, Fraser, and Kipyegon
Tobi Amusan will be competing for the title of “best athlete of the Year” with Yulimar Rojas (triple leap) and Shelly Anne-Fraser (100%), who won the distinction in 2013 and 2020, respectively, and also the Kenyan Faith Kipyegon (unbeatable in 1500m). The Nigerian could make the difference if he breaks the many records he set this year. Amusan is enjoying an amazing year, even though he is still waiting for the consecration. “Everyone doubted me. I had to prove myself. This whole season, I am so grateful. I feel overwhelmed. Now vacation, rest and back to training”Confides the 100m hurdles world queen.
Breaks the world record in sowing (12.12).✔️
