 Again, Tobi Amusan has made Nigerians proud by clinching gold at the ongoing Commonwealth Games.

The 25-year-old athlete clocked 12.30 seconds in the women's 100 meters hurdle to set a new games record.

About two weeks ago, she had also won gold at the World Athletic Championship. Bravo!

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has successfully defended her Commonwealth Games 100m hurdles title after breezing to the first position on Sunday at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham.

Amusan finished in a time of 12.30s to set a new Games Record and also secure Nigeria’s 10th gold medal in what has been an amazing year.

A 2.4 m/s tailwind denied Amusan the chance of breaking the Games Record in the semi-final.

However, there was no stopping the World Record holder as she breezed to a time of 12.30s to eclipse the 16-year-old 12.65 seconds Games record set by Jamaica’s Brigitte Foster-Hylton in Melbourne, Australia.

Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas came second while Briton Cindy Sember who celebrated her 28th birthday with a win in the semis settled for the bronze.
