She beat Pia Skrzyszowska, who finished third with a time of 12.78 seconds, and Sarah Lavin, who finished second with a time of 12.73 seconds.

She not only achieved her first Diamond League victory of the year but also broke an existing record for the stadium.

Amusan, who now holds the 100-meter hurdles world record, is one of the favorites to take home the gold at the Paris Summer Olympics in 2024.

In 2022, she broke the women’s 100m world record in the semi-finals clocking 12.12 seconds, and two hours later in the final burst out of the blocks for the gold medal in an even faster time of 12.06, although that didn’t count as an official record due to their being too much tailwind.

It will be recalled that after Tokyo 2020 Olympics held in 2021, she considered quitting athletics, frustrated by her failure to win a medal. Finishing fourth in Tokyo, after missing the podium at the 2019 World Championships, left her struggling to overcome the mental side of not winning a medal.

For participating in each Diamond League leg, athletes receive points rather than medals. At the conclusion of all legs, the best eight athletes in each event will advance to the Diamond League Final, where they will contend for the trophy.

The Diamond League 2023 season’s seventh competition took place in Stockholm. The two-day final for the Diamond League 2023 series will take place on September 16 and 17 in Eugene, in the United States.
