Tobi Amusan delivered a commanding performance on Sunday, winning the women’s 100m hurdles at the Rabat Diamond League in Morocco.
The Nigerian world record holder stormed to victory in 12.28 seconds, matching her season’s best while setting a new meeting record and claiming her first Diamond League win of the 2026 season.
She finished comfortably ahead of Devynne Charlton, who placed second in 12.40 seconds, while Dutch athlete Nadine Visser came third in 12.47 seconds.
Amusan’s latest triumph at the Rabat Diamond League also saw her surpass her previous meeting record of 12.45 seconds, which she set at the same venue last year.
The victory marks a significant milestone in her season after earlier podium finishes, including a third-place finish in Shanghai with 12.41 seconds and a runner-up finish in Xiamen, where she clocked 12.28 seconds.
Before her Diamond League campaign, Amusan won gold in the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2026 African Championships in Accra, securing Nigeria’s first gold medal of the competition.
Her win in Rabat is expected to boost her confidence ahead of upcoming competitions, including the next Wanda Diamond League meeting in Rome, Italy, scheduled for June 4.
