Amusan becomes the first World Champion to win a Gold medal in the event and the first Nigerian athlete ever to be crowned champion at all levels of athletics in the same year, after successfully defending the Commonwealth Games title she won four years ago in Gold Coast Australia.
She is now the champion in Africa, World and Commonwealth Games.
Amusan had won the 2018 edition of the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast to become the first Nigerian female hurdler to win gold at the Games. She won the women’s 100m hurdles then in 12.68secs to claim her first Commonwealth Games gold for Nigeria.
