Nigerian athlete, Tobi Amusan has assured fans that she will be back “stronger” next year after she lost her world women’s 100m hurdles crown to Jamaica’s Danielle Williams on Thursday, August 24, in Budapest.

 

 

Jamaica’s Danielle Williams won the title in a season-best of 12.43s while Olympic champion, Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn came second in 12.44s and USA Kendra Harrison came third in 12.46s.

Despite a slow start, the world hurdles record holder recovered in time, clocking 12.56s to finish ahead of Jamaican Achkara Nungent’s 12.60 seconds and Dutch Nadine Visser’s 12.62 seconds.

Amusan came 6th in 12.62s in her third consecutive final.

 

In an interview with journalists after the game, Amusan said it was quite “a journey getting into the final” despite all she had gone through in the last couple of weeks.

 

“It has been God, my team and my family,” the 2022 gold winner told reporters.

 

 

She thanked all her fans for supporting her through the ups and downs, promising that she will be back stronger.

 

Amusan hopes to get her “medal” back next year.

 

“Yeah, it’s a tough one; nobody likes to lose but considering what I have gone through in the past couple of months, I’m so grateful that I came out,” she enthused.
