Amusan set a time of 12.34 seconds to become the official fastest time in a 100-meter hurdle race in the meeting. She was closely followed by Americans Harrison Kendria and Ali Nia, who came second and third, respectively, at a time of 12.35 and 12.38 seconds.
Speaking on this achievement, Amusan said, “It was not easy for me with injuries in my hamstring and my knee. But I trusted in my coach and my work. It’s all about the process. I just won this in a smooth style; I was just running. Honestly, I had no idea that I won when I crossed the finish line.”
