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.
