World Record holder Tobi Amusan has warned her rivals of having another record-breaking season with the Paris Olympic Games in sight, following her world-leading performance at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational.
The Nigerian hurdling queen bounced back to winning ways with a stunning world-leading time of 12.40s to win the women's 100mH event, thus defeating homegirl and reigning world champion Danielle Williams, who had to settle for second in 12.46s, while USA's Christina Clemons was third in 12.54s.
In addition, her blistering mark is the fastest 100mH time on Jamaican soil, which is a vital statement after the Suzhou Diamond League disappointment of being disqualified for a false start.
