Puerto Rico's Jasmine Camacho-Quinn almost broke Tobi Amusan's world record with a windy 12.17s in Bermuda.

Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn was a few seconds away from breaking Tobi Amusan's World Record (WR) of 12.12s, after clocking a windy 12.17s (3.5) to win the women's 100m Hurdles event at the Bermuda Grand Prix.

Former world champion Danielle Williams was second in 12.38s, Tonea Marshall third in 12.39s, and Megan Tapper third in 12.47s.

Camacho-Quinn's time is the third-fastest all-conditions time in history, behind Amusan's world title-winning mark of 12.06s and her WR of 12.12s.

The Puerto Rican believes running a sub-12s is possible, and going by her performances this season, it's safe to say the women's 100m Hurdles WR may be erased sooner than later, having Camacho-Quinn and Amusan give one of the most thrilling rivalries in world athletics history.
