EDITOR’S PICKS

On Sunday in Oregon, Amusan clocked a season’s best 12.33s to emerge winner of the keenly contested 100m hurdles event. This makes her the second woman in Diamond League history, after Dawn Nelson-Harper, to win a hat-trick of 100m hurdles titles.

Amusan’s victory is a remarkable achievement, given the challenges she has faced in recent months. In July, she was temporarily suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for missing three whereabouts tests. However, she was cleared to compete two days before the World Championships in Budapest.

Despite her suspension, Amusan vowed to come back stronger, and she has kept her promise. Her victory in Eugene is a testament to her resilience and determination.

Amusan’s success is also a source of pride for Nigeria. She is one of the country’s most decorated athletes, and her achievements have inspired many young Nigerians to pursue their dreams.
