Rabat, Morocco — Nigerian sprint hurdler and world record holder, Tobi Amusan, produced another impressive performance at the Diamond League meeting in Rabat, winning the women’s 100m hurdles in a commanding display that underlined her continued dominance in the event.
Amusan crossed the finish line ahead of a strong international field, stopping the clock at a season-best time of around 12.2–12.4 seconds, depending on official meet confirmation. Her performance was enough to secure victory and reinforce her status as one of the top hurdlers in global athletics.
The race took place under the prestigious Diamond League circuit, which attracts elite athletes from around the world.
Despite viral claims circulating on social media, Amusan did not break the women’s 100m hurdles world record in Rabat. The current world record remains the 12.12 seconds mark, which she set at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon.
Instead, her Rabat performance is best described as a season-best and potentially a meet record, depending on final official verification by meet organizers.
Amusan’s victory adds to her consistent performances on the Diamond League circuit this season as she continues to build momentum ahead of major international championships. Her ability to remain competitive against a deep field of global hurdlers highlights her enduring elite status in the event.
