BREAKING: Tobi Amusan loses World Women’s 100m hurdles crown

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has lost her world women’s 100m hurdles championship title to Jamaica’s Danielle Williams in Budapest Thursday night.

The 30-year-old Nigerian sprinter won in Beijing back in 2015, while Williams achieved a remarkable time of 12.43 seconds, narrowly surpassing Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico (12.44 seconds), while Kendra Harrison of the United States secured the bronze (12.46 seconds).

Contrarily, both Amusan and 2019’s victor, Nia Ali, struggled to find their footing in the competition, concluding in sixth and last place, respectively.
