World Record holder Tobi Amusan is expected to compete in the 60m Hurdles at the ORLENS Cup as she begins preparations for Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Nigeria's track queen Tobi Amusan will return to 60m hurdling action for the first time in two years, when she competes at the ORLEN Copernicus Cup on February 6th, 2024.

Amusan has been scheduled to face a stacked field that includes Poland's Pia Skrzyszowska and Reetta Hurske, who have Personal Best (PB) times of 7.78s and 7.79s, and Hungarian National Record holder Luca Kozák will also be a stiff competition.

The world 100m Hurdles record holder at 12.12s will be aiming to kick off her indoor season on a memorable note as she prepares to have an iconic outing at the Paris Olympic Games.

Amusan's PB in the 60m Hurdles is 7.84s, which she ran in 2020 at a meet in Karlsruhe. With Glory Alozie's African Record still set at 7.82s, the 2022 world champion will have her eyes set on smashing it and adding it to her impeccable record collections.
