On her debut at the Diamond League in Paris, the African and Commonwealth Champion just like in the Tokyo2020 Olympics placed 4th, and headed to the penultimate round finishing 2nd behind Nadine Visser, even though both crossed the line at 12.69 seconds.
Amusan in 2019 smashed a 20-year record at the African Games held by another Nigerian Gloria Anozie in the women’s 100m hurdles. The 2021 “Diamond League Champion” is awarded a Diamond Trophy and USD 30,000 in prize money as well as getting a wild card for next year’s World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA. |
