Nigeria’s sprint queen, Tobi Amusan, has once again etched her name into global athletics history, securing a silver medal in the women’s 100m hurdles final at the 2025 World Athletics Championship in Tokyo. Amusan crossed the finish line with an impressive time of 12.29 seconds, reaffirming her status as one of the world’s top hurdlers.

 

This marks another proud moment for Nigeria on the international stage, with Amusan proving that her 2022 world record of 12.12 seconds still stands tall—unmatched and untouchable. Her Tokyo performance showcases not only her enduring dominance in the sport but also her consistency at the highest level of competition.

 

Though narrowly missing out on gold, the Nigerian athlete was all smiles as she celebrated with the national flag, cheered on by a global audience and fans back home. Her silver medal adds to an already stellar career and continues to inspire a new generation of African athletes.

 

“It’s a silver, but it feels golden for Nigeria,” one fan commented online, echoing national pride over the hurdler’s accomplishment.

 

Congratulations continue to pour in for the “Queen of the Hurdles,” whose unwavering determination and athletic prowess have once again put Nigeria firmly on the world map.
