Nigeria's hurdling queen Tobi Amusan began her Tokyo 2025 World Championships campaign with a domineering win in her 100mH heats to be among the fastest qualifiers into the semis.

Competing in Heat 6, the world record holder won conveniently in a respectable 12.53s, finishing far ahead of world 60mH record holder Devynne Charlton, who clocked 12.69s, while Italy's Elena Carraro was third in 12.86s.

With her time, Amusan heads into the semfinals as the fifth fastest behind defending world champion Danielle Williams (12.40s), Grace Stark (12.46s), Nadine Visser (12.48s), and Pia Skrzyszowska (12.51s).

Having failed to reach the Paris Olympic final last summer, the Nigerian superstar will gun for an avoidance of the same occurrence by booking her spot in the final in Tokyo.

However, she will face stiff competition from other hurdlers who are also in blistering shape, as the women's 100mH event is classified as arguably the most competitive track event.

Notwithstanding, Amusan will aim to bring back her 2022 form that saw her set the world record and win the world title in Oregon.

If successful in reclaiming her title or at least winning a medal, will see her become the first Nigerian athlete in history to achieve such a feat at world championships level.

She still hasn't swapped to another country yet
It will be better if she does so oo

olaolaking:
In the other thread, she claims they were note well kitted like the Americans.

Can she promise us similar numbers of winning with the Americans?

Druss:
Are you serious with this post? You have one of the top athletes and you are under kitting her and yet asking if she can compete. Over familiarity dey do una. If you now hear that another country is offering her 1m dollars per year to run for them, you will call her unpatriotic.

olaolaking:
One of the best my foot. So they should kit her differently or all those bench warmers should also be kit?

Amusan is yet to prove herself to us

Congrats to her. I hope she keeps the momentum till the next Olympics
