World record holder Tobi Amusan is officially back to her best—and she’s making it look easy. Just days after a thrilling near-win at the Paris Diamond League, the Nigerian sprint queen dominated once again, this time at the Ostrava Golden Spike, reminding the world why she’s the reigning queen of the 100m hurdles.
At the prestigious meet in the Czech Republic, Amusan cruised to a commanding win in the women’s 100m hurdles, clocking an impressive 12.45 seconds (+1.4 m/s wind). The performance was smooth, sharp, and unbothered—classic Tobi Amusan. Her nearest rivals, Slovakia’s Viktoria Forster (12.74s, SB) and Ireland’s Sarah Lavin (12.76s, SB), had no answers as the Nigerian hurdler powered through to victory.
This latest win follows her electrifying race in Paris just five days earlier, where she ran 12.24s, her second-fastest legal time ever, narrowly finishing behind Grace Stark (12.21s PB), who moved up to fifth on the all-time list. Amusan’s performance in Paris sent a strong message—she’s not just back, she’s chasing history again.
Let’s not forget, Tobi Amusan still holds the world record of 12.12s, set at the 2022 World Championships in Oregon, where she also clinched the world title. After an injury-plagued 2023 season, these back-to-back high-level performances show she’s returned to elite form—just in time for the biggest stages.
With the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo just a few months away, Amusan’s resurgence couldn’t be more perfectly timed. If her current momentum continues, she will undoubtedly enter the championships as one of the top contenders to reclaim her world title and possibly lower her own world record.
One thing is clear: Tobi Amusan isn’t just running—she’s flying.
And if the rest of the season follows this trajectory, the world might once again witness history written in Nigerian green and white.
