Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan, on Sunday morning, won the gold in the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
She clocked a blistering 12.30 seconds to smash the Games’ record at the Alexander Stadium.
Devynne Charlton of The Bahamas came second while England’s Cindy Sember cliched the bronze medal.
Amusan becomes the first World Champion to win a Gold medal in the event and the first Nigerian athlete ever to be crowned champion at all levels of athletics in the same year, after successfully defending the Commonwealth Games title she won four years ago in Gold Coast Australia.
