| Tobi Amusan clinched the silver medal in the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2025 World Athletics Championships, held at the iconic National Stadium in Tokyo |
Amusan stormed through the final with a time of 12.29 seconds, finishing just behind Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, who claimed gold in a blistering 12.24 seconds, setting a new national record for her country. The bronze went to Grace Stark of the United States, who clocked 12.34 seconds, while fellow American Masai Russell placed fourth with 12.44 seconds.
Earlier in the day, Amusan had already made her mark by dominating the semifinals. She surged to victory in her heat with a confident 12.36 seconds (-0.2 wind), outpacing Nadine Visser of the Netherlands (12.45s) and Pia Skrzyszowska of Poland (12.51s).
This silver medal marks Nigeria’s first podium finish at the ongoing championships—a moment of pride for the nation and a testament to Amusan’s enduring brilliance on the global stage.
Her performance not only reinforces her status as one of the world’s elite hurdlers but also ignites hope and inspiration for the next generation of Nigerian athletes.
