Tobi Amusan ran her second fastest time in history, third fastest time in all conditions to finish second in the women's 100m Hurdles at the Paris Diamond League.
Nigeria's hurdling queen Tobi Amusan is back at her best after dropping her second-fastest career time at the Paris Diamond League on Friday, June 20.
Competing in a stacked field of some of the world's best female hurdlers, Amusan held her own to finish second in a blistering 12.24s (0.9), shattering her previous Season's Best (SB) time of 12.44s before the race.

Her blazing run isn't just her second-fastest legal career time behind her world record of 12.12s, but it's her third-fastest ever run after her 2022 world-title-winning performance of 12.06s.
With this, she has announced her huge comeback in the game as a major contender for the world title in Tokyo this summer and a warning of more blistering-running performances as the season progresses.
Meanwhile, USA's Grace Stark who's currently in the form of her life won the race in a huge personal best of 12.21s - the fourth-fastest time in history, while Jamaica's record holder Ackera Nugent finished third in the race in 12.30s.
She has also laid down the gauntlet of being a top challenger as well, sending a vital warning to Olympic champion Masai Russell, who has the world-leading time of 12.17s, and Tia Jones, the second-fastest in the world this year at 12.19s.

The ladies' performances show the depth of the women's 100mH division this season, and as it stands, there's no top favourite for the gold medal ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo.
