Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has booked her spot in the semifinals of the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo
The 2022 Oregon champion, who placed sixth at Budapest 2023, was in superb form on Sunday, September 14, as she stormed to victory in heat six with a time of 12.53 seconds, advancing with ease.
Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton, the reigning world indoor champion and one of Amusan’s fiercest rivals, finished second in 12.69s, while Italy’s Elena Carraro came third in 12.86s to also qualify.
Amusan, the world record holder with her historic 12.12s run in 2022, is determined to reclaim the world title she lost last year. Her smooth progression to the semis keeps Nigeria’s medal hopes alive.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Kanyinsola Ajayi and Israel Okon will compete in the men’s 100m semifinals later today as the nation continues its hunt for medals in Tokyo.
