Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan emerged as the winner of the Diamond League trophy for an astonishing third consecutive time.
On Sunday night in Oregon, Amusan with a time of 12.33s emerged the winner of the fiercely contested 100m hurdles event to shut her critics after a disappointing outing in Budapest.
Amusan with Sunday’s remarkable performance made history as the second woman in Diamond League history after Dawn Nelson-Harper to win a hat-trick of 100m hurdles titles. Interestingly, it was in Oregon where Amusan won the world title last year and also set a world record in the process.
The Nigerian takes the women’s 100m hurdles in a season’s best 12.33 secs at the Diamond League Final in Eugene, Oregon.
Amusan beat a strong field over the final hurdles, posting in a season-best 12.33. Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico was second in 12.38 and Keni Harrison of the USA was third in 12.44. World champion Danielle Williams of Jamaica finished fourth in 12.47.
