Nigerian hurdler Tobi Amusan won the women’s 100m hurdles at the Wanda Diamond League meet in Rabat on Sunday.
The victory marks a critical step in Amusan's effort to reignite her outdoor season and improve upon her personal best. As a world-class competitor, her ability to consistently break meeting records reinforces her standing as a dominant force in the discipline.
Amusan secured the win while establishing a new meeting record. Reports on the exact time vary between sources, with the record cited as 12.45 seconds [2] and another report listing a season's best of 12.24 seconds [1]. The previous meeting record stood at 12.51 seconds [3].
Following the race, the champion said she was satisfied with her performance and pace. The event in Morocco served as a benchmark for her current physical condition and technical execution on the track.
"I was close to my best in Rabat," Amusan said [4].
Amusan's performance in Rabat is part of a broader strategy to refine her timing and hurdle clearance. By competing in the Diamond League circuit, she faces elite global competition designed to prepare athletes for major championships. The Nigerian athlete has focused on consistency throughout her recent outings to ensure she can challenge her own historic marks.
“"I was close to my best in Rabat,"”
Amusan's victory and the breaking of the Rabat meeting record indicate she is regaining the momentum necessary to compete for gold at the highest international levels. While the discrepancy in reported times suggests a need for official timing verification, the overall result confirms her trajectory toward her personal best.
