Tobi Amusan storms to fastest time at Jamaica invitational

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan stormed to a world-leading time after seeing off Jamaica’s Danielle Williams at the Athletics Invitational.

Nigerian athletics sensation Tobi Amusan underlined her status as the fastest woman in the world this year after she blitzed past world champion Danielle Williams in front of home support.

Amusan finished with a remarkable 12.40 second performance to win the 100m hurdles at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational.

Her blazing world lead time of 12.40 seconds saw Amusan blow away the opposition, with current World Champion Danielle Williams of Jamaica settling for second in 12.46s.

This was a major statement of intent from the Nigerian ahead of the summer’s biggest meetings and the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She’s clearly picked up where she left off after her jaw-dropping world record run of 12.12s to take gold at last year’s World Championships in Oregon.

The peerless technique, speed and confidence were all there in evidence again as she left a top-quality field trailing in her wake in Kingston.
