Tobi Amusan Breaks World Record andWins World Athletics Championship gold for Nigeria
Commonwealth champion, Tobi Amusan has made history as the first Nigerian athlete to win a World Athletics Championship gold. The athlete won the women’s 100m hurdles gold at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Tobi Amusan had smashed a world record of 12.12s in the semi-finals but established that mark with a superb 12.06s to become the first Nigerian to win gold in the history of the World Athletics Championships.
Jamaica’s Britany Anderson took silver in 12.23sec, while Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico claimed bronze in 12.23.

Amusan had produced an amazing world record in the semi-finals, smashing the previous best mark of 12.20secs held by Keni Harrison of the United States in 2016.
Victorious Amusan says, “Honestly, I believe in my abilities but I was not expecting a world record at these championships,” Amusan said after her final victory. “The goal is always just to execute well and get the win. So the world record is a bonus. I knew I had it in me but I could not believe it when I saw it on the screen after the semis.
“Before the final, I just tried to stay calm and to do my best. I took a deep breath knowing that I have some goal to accomplish and it worked pretty good. I knew it was very fast but not this fast.”
Amusan walked away with a cheque of $100,000 for winning Gold in the final of the women’s 100m hurdles event in Eugene, Oregon.
Congratulations Tobi Amusan.

I was able to find good information from your content.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like
you wrote the book in it or something. I think that
you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the
simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly
get irked while people consider worries that they just don’t know
about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined
out the whole thing without having side effect ,
people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thanks
