Nigeria track queen, Tobi Amusan has won the women’s 100 meters hurdles race at the Diamond League meet in Rabat, Morocco.

The 28-year-old clocked a season’s best time of 12.24 seconds to finish ahead of the chasing pack and set a new record, breaking McNeal Brianna’s previous mark of 12.51 seconds.

This will be Amusan’s first major victory of the 2025 season.

She opened her campaign with a successive fourth-place finish at both the Xiamen and Shanghai Diamond League meets in May.

In March, she won Velocity Fest 16 in Jamaica, running against a weaker line-up of hurdlers.

The latest victory opens a clean chapter for Amusan, following the disappointing end to her 2024 athletics season, during which she failed to make the final of the women’s 100m hurdles at the Paris Olympics.

After last season, Amusan began training with Racers Track Club, which is led by Glen Mills, the former coach of the legendary Usain Bolt.

Speaking on her triumph in Rabat, Amusan credited her training routine which improved her execution in Morocco.

She said: “More hurdles practice, because I have been doing more sprinting. It was after the first two Diamond League meetings, I knew I had to go back to doing more hurdle drills.”
