Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan produced another outstanding performance on the global stage, winning the silver medal in the women’s 100 metres hurdles at the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest, Hungary.

Amusan crossed the finish line in 12.34 seconds, securing second place in one of the championship’s most competitive events and adding another major international medal to her remarkable career.

The reigning world-class hurdler showed her trademark speed and technical precision throughout the race, staying in contention from the start before finishing strongly behind the gold medallist.

The silver medal marks another significant achievement for the 28-year-old, who has remained one of Africa’s most successful athletes in recent years. It also represents a positive start for Team Nigeria at the inaugural edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championship.

Amusan has consistently established herself among the world’s elite hurdlers, having previously won the world title and broken the women’s 100m hurdles world record. Her latest podium finish reinforces her status as one of Nigeria’s greatest track and field athletes.

The Budapest championship brings together many of the world’s top athletes in a new elite competition created by World Athletics, with competitors battling for medals and substantial prize money across multiple disciplines.

For Nigeria, Amusan’s silver medal is another source of national pride as she continues to fly the country’s flag at the highest level of international athletics.

Speaking after the race, Amusan expressed gratitude for the support of Nigerians and reaffirmed her determination to keep competing for more honours as the athletics season progresses.
