August 07, (THEWILL) – Tobi Amusan’s record-setting continued in England in the 100-metre hurdles, as the Nigerian won the gold medal with a record time of 12.30 seconds in the women’s event at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games (CWG).
Devynne Charlton, the Bahamian 100m hurdle Olympian, finished behind Amusan to claim the silver and England’s Cindy Sember, picked up bronze with wild excitement for her and the home fans cheering her third-place podium finish.
Amusan has forgotten what coming second feels like as the current world champion and record holder, not only successfully defended her Games crown on Sunday morning at the Alexander stadium, but currently holds the Nigerian record, African record, Commonwealth record and World record in the 100m hurdle.
At the next Olympics in Paris in two years, where she will be attempting to break the Olympic record, she will unquestionably be one to watch.
