It was an eventful outing as Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan won 100 metres hurdles gold at the World Championships on Sunday (Monday morning in Nigeria) in what was initially announced as a world record 12.06 seconds but later ruled ineligible as the wind speed exceeded the legal limit.

Amusan broke the world record earlier on Sunday by running 12.12 in the semifinal at Hayward Field, Oregon, U.S.

Jamaican Britany Anderson took silver and Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn finished with bronze.

Olympic champion Camacho-Quinn accelerated at the midway mark but lost a close battle with Anderson over the final strides.

The final was without 2019 champion Nia Ali and medal contender Alaysha Johnson, both of the United States, after they hit hurdles and crashed out in the opening round.

Amusan, who was fourth at the Tokyo Olympics and the last worlds in 2019, clocked 12.12 seconds at Hayward Field, an hour and 50 minutes before she contested the final.

Amusan took eight hundredths off American Keni Harrison‘s world record from 2016.

Amusan’s previous personal best was 12.40s set in the first round on Saturday (Nigeria’s Sunday morning) in Oregon, U.S.

“I wanted to get out and go,” Amusan said, according to World Athletics. “I did what I had to do. Now I’m looking forward to the finals.”
