Tobi Amusan, the world-champion sprinter from Nigeria, won the silver medal on Friday night at the Diamond League Meet after making a breakthrough in the World Athletics Championship in Oregon, United States, this year.
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico won the gold medal, and Amusan, who was still hurting from the record-breaking Commonwealth Games gold she won in Birmingham earlier in August, was hoping to maintain her outstanding performance.
Camacho-Quinn got one over Tobi Amusan winning the women’s 100m Hurdles at the Diamond League in a new Meeting Record of 12.34s (-0.9).
Amusan finished second in 12.45s and qualified for Zurich, while US’ Tia Jones ran a new Personal Best of 12.47s to finish third.
The Diamond League is an annual series of elite track and field athletics competitions comprising 14 of the best invitational athletics meetings.
The series sits in the top tier of the World Athletics one-day meeting competitions.
