After breaking through at this year’s World Athletics Championship in Oregon, United States, Champion Tobi Amusan on Friday night won silver medal at the ongoing Diamond League Meet.
Still smarting from the record Commonwealth Games gold she won in Birmingham earlier in August, Amusan hoped to continue her superlative performance, but met a resistant hurdle as she lost the gold medal to 2020 Tokyo Olympics winner, Jasmine Camacho-Quinn.
Camacho-Quinn got one over Tobi Amusan winning the women’s 100m Hurdles at the Diamond League in a new Meeting Record of 12.34s (-0.9).
Amusan finished second in 12.45s and qualified for Zurich, while Tia Jones ran a new Personal Best of 12.47s to finish third.
The Diamond League is an annual series of elite track and field athletics competition comprising 14 of the best invitational athletics meetings.
The series sits in the top tier of the World Athletics one-day meeting competitions.
