History made! Tobi Amusan becomes Nigeria's first medallist at Tokyo 2025 World Championships

Never in doubt for a podium placement, world record holder Tobi Amusan has become Nigeria's first medallist at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships, making history in the process.

The hurdling queen blazed to a blistering 12.29s to win the silver medal behind surprise winner Ditaji Kambundji, who stormed to a new Swiss national record and personal best of 12.24s.

Amusan was never to be denied her position on the podium, going off from the blast of the gun, holding off USA's Grace Stark to the end, who settled for bronze in 12.34s - her first medal at a major championship.

Olympic champion Masai Russell was stunned to fourth position, while defending world champion Danielle Williams finished a disappointing fifth.

Amusan's exceptional performance is one for the history books as she has become Nigeria's first two-time women's 100mH medallist in world championships history.

It is also a great comeback on the biggest stage after her disappointing outing at the Paris Olympic Games, where she failed to qualify for the final.

Since her history-making outing at the 2022 world championships in Oregon, Amusan has had a turbulent three years of returning to the podium amongst the world's best hurdlers.

But now, with her shining silver medal in Tokyo, she has surely engraved her name not just in Nigerian history books but in the world, which will never be forgotten.
