World Record time...

Oluwatobiloba Ayomide Amusan ran an incredible 12.40 seconds (+1.5m/s) in her opening performance at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA to set a new African record and Nigeria’s fastest time in the history of the competition in the women's 100mH event.

The Nigerian has now made the semifinal of the event three times which is an extension of her record as the only Nigerian female 100m hurdles runner to make the penultimate round of the competition. She finished (14th s.f) in the World Championships in London 2017 and missed the podium, finishing 4th in the same competition 2 years later in Doha, Qatar.

Amusan has also smashed four of the six records, set by the legendary Abia-born Gloria Alozie before she switched allegiance to Spain on July 06, 2001.

1. 100m hurdles: Alozie set an African Games Record by returning 12.74s in the 100m hurdles to beat Nigeria's Angela Atede (Silver - 12.99s) & Senegal's Mame Tacko Diouf (Bronze - 13.02s) in the All-African Games in Johannesburg 1999.

Amusan broke the record 10 years later, twice at the African Games in Rabat 2019. She ran 12.69s at the semi-final and 12.68s to take Gold in the final of the event.

2. 100m hurdles: Alozie claimed Silver in the Sydney2000 Olympics, days after losing a fellow athlete & fiance, Hyginus Anugo. She finished 12.68s with Kazakhstan's Olga Shishigina (Gold - 12.65s) and United States' Melissa Morrison (Bronze - 12.76s) completing the podium. That was the best time by a Nigerian in the Olympics in the women's 100mH event.

Amusan returned 12.60s in the Tokyo2020 Olympics, breaking that record despite finishing fourth in the final.

3. 100m hurdles: Gloria Alozie was African Record Holder running 12.44s on two different occasions. First in Monaco 1998, setting aside Angela Atede's 12.63s set in 1997; and 20 days later, returning same time in Brussels.

4. 100m hurdles: Alozie also returned an African Record time of 12.44s to claim Silver in the IAAF World Championship in Seville 1999, alongside United States' Gail Devers (Gold - 12.37s) and Sweden's Ludmila Engquist (Bronze - 12.47s).

First, Amusan ran the fastest time by a Nigerian in the women's 100mH in Diamond League history. She smashed the African record set in 1998 and became the first and only Nigerian, man or woman to win a Diamond League discipline title in 2021.

Amusan ran 12.42s in Zurich to break the African Record time and win the Diamond League. She also ran 12.41s on June 18, 2022 in the Diamond League meet in Paris to best her own African Record.

Not satisfied, in the World Championships in Eugene on 23/07/2022, Amusan smashed her own African record set last month by returning 12.40s in Heat 3.

In the semi-final of same event held on 24/7/2022, Amusan smashed the World Record time becoming the first Nigerian to set a WR in any event. She clocked 12.12s (+0.9m/s) to erase American's Kendra Harrison's 12.20s set on July 22, 2016.

Harrison finished 2nd in the semi-final, behind Amusan with her second-best time of 12.27s.

AMUSAN now has the fastest time in World Record History with 12.12s.

SHE DID IT ‼️

Nigeria also finished 4th behind the USA, Jamaica and Germany in the women's 4x100m relay at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon 2022. Despite, not getting on the podium, the girls dumped a 30-year African Record.

It was in the 1992 Olympics at the Estadio de Olimpico, Barcelona that the quartet of Beatrice Utondu, Faith Idehen, Christy Opara-Thompson and Mary Onyali-Omagbemi finished with an African Record of 42.39s at the Heats.

The quartet of Joy Chinenye Udo-Gabriel, Favour Ofili, Rosemary Chukwuma and Nzubechi Grace Nwokocha returned a 42.22s at Eugene on 24/07/2022 to eclipse that record despite not been on the podium.

Udo-Gabriel, whose inclusion in the team was questioned by some critics, shut her critics up for the umpteenth time with a well-executed first leg race before handing over to Ofili who sustained the momentum.

Then it was the turn of Chukwuma for the third leg and she did well before handing over to Nwokocha who finished off brilliantly.
Disappointingly, they couldn't make the podium.

Congrats for the National/African Record feat.

Kudos to the lady. She tried. Never underestimate athletes from the south, they rep naija well.

.........

Nigeria is yet to win a medal in the women’s 4×100 meters at the world championships with fourth place being the country’s best placement in the event to date.

The team made up of Beatrice Utondu, Rufina Ubah, Mary Onyali-Omagbemi, and Christy Opara-Thompson placed fourth at the 1991 edition in Tokyo, Japan while Endurance Ojokolo, Mercy Nku, Mary Onyali-Omagbemi and Chioma Ajunwa also matched the placement at the 2001 edition in Edmonton, Canada.
