Tobi Amusan wins silver at World Championships, clocking 12.29s in the 100m hurdles final in Tokyo. She finishes behind Kambundji in a fierce contest

Tobi Amusan wins silver at World Championships in Tokyo 2025, reaffirming her place among the world’s best hurdlers with a remarkable performance in the women’s 100m hurdles final.

Amusan crossed the finish line in 12.29 seconds, clinching second place in a closely contested race.

Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji took gold with a national record of 12.24 seconds, while the United States’ Grace Stark claimed bronze in 12.34 seconds**.

This latest medal marks another significant milestone in Amusan’s illustrious career, as the former world champion and record holder once again demonstrates her consistency and competitive edge on the global stage.

Amusan had signalled her intent with a strong semi-final run of 12.36 seconds, setting up a fierce battle in the final.

Known for her powerful finishes and technical precision over the hurdles, she proved once again that she remains a major force in the sport.

The women’s 100m hurdles final was among the most anticipated events of the Tokyo 2025 World Championships, featuring a stacked lineup that included top contenders from the USA, Europe, and Africa.

American hurdler Masai Russell narrowly missed out on a podium spot, finishing fourth in 12.44 seconds, just 0.1 seconds behind Amusan.

Despite not reclaiming her former gold, Amusan’s performance reaffirms her place in the elite echelon of global athletics.

Amusan’s silver is not just a personal triumph—it is also a proud moment for Nigeria, whose flag she continues to carry high on the international circuit.

From setting a world record in 2022 to now adding yet another global medal to her collection, she remains a symbol of perseverance and excellence.
