Tobi Amusan Storms to Diamond League Victory, Sends Strong Commonwealth Games Warning:

Nigerian sprint hurdles sensation, Tobi Amusan delivered another world-class performance, claiming victory in the women's 100m hurdles at the Paris Diamond League, on Sunday, with an equal Season's Best of 12.27 seconds (+0.7m/s).

Amusan finished ahead of Grace Stark, who placed second in 12.38s, while Alaysha Johnson completed the podium in 12.39s. Remarkably, this marks the third time in the 2026 season that Amusan has produced a blistering performance in the 12.27–12.28s range, underlining her outstanding form as the athletics season gathers momentum.

Last week, Tobi Amusan was listed as one of Nigeria’s representatives to the 2026 Commonwealth Games taking places in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 23rd - August 2nd. She is expected to once again defend her 100mH crown which she won in Gold Coast, Australia and Birmingham, UK in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
