She became the first Nigerian to win a World Athletics Championship Gold in July, where she clinched victory in the Women’s 100m hurdles in Eugene, Oregon, United States, finishing with a beautiful 12.06 seconds new record.
During the semi-final of the event in Eugene, Oregon, Tobi Amusan hit 12.12 seconds to break the world record at Hayward Field.
However, her winning was not accepted as a world record as a result of an illegal tailwind of 2.5m per second.
And moving to the Commonwealth Games weeks later, Amusan clinched another record-breaking gold medal for Team Nigeria.
She finished with a new games record of 12.30 seconds to retain the 100m hurdles she won in Australia four years ago.
