Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan continued her impressive run of form by claiming victory in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Paris Diamond League on Sunday with a season-equalling time of 12.27 seconds.
The performance marked the third time this year the world record holder has clocked 12.27s, underlining her consistency on the Diamond League circuit.
Competing at Stade Charléty, Amusan crossed the finish line comfortably ahead of the field. American Grace Stark finished second in 12.38 seconds, while compatriot Johnson placed third in 12.39 seconds.
The Nigerian had previously recorded the same winning time at the Xiamen and Rabat Diamond League meetings earlier this season, making Sunday’s triumph another statement performance ahead of the business end of the campaign.
The Paris meet was staged under a revised schedule after a severe heatwave across France forced organisers to cancel all lower-tier youth and regional club events over the weekend.
Despite track temperatures reaching 32 degrees Celsius, Amusan produced another commanding display.
He also served as Deputy Editor at Sahara Reporters Sports and worked as Content Manager for the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), contributing significantly to sports journalism and digital content development in Nigeria.
