Nigeria’s world record holder, Tobi Amusan, produced another commanding performance to win the women’s 100m hurdles at the Paris Diamond League, securing her second Diamond League victory of the 2026 season.
Tobi Amusan continued her impressive 2026 campaign by winning the women’s 100m hurdles at the Paris Diamond League, clocking 12.28 seconds to finish ahead of a strong international field. The victory marked her second Diamond League triumph of the season and reinforced her status as one of the leading contenders in the event.
Amusan produced a strong finish after trailing in the early stages of the race, overtaking the field to cross the line comfortably in 12.28 seconds.
American hurdler Grace Stark finished second in 12.38 seconds, while Alaysha Johnson placed third in 12.39 seconds. The winning time equalled Amusan’s season’s best and marked the third occasion she has recorded 12.28 seconds this year.
The victory follows Amusan’s earlier Diamond League success in Rabat and continues her consistent run of form as she builds momentum ahead of the major athletics competitions later in the season.
The latest performance further strengthens Amusan’s position among the world’s elite hurdlers. The Nigerian, who previously won three consecutive Diamond League titles between 2021 and 2023, is aiming to reclaim the overall Diamond League crown after another series of consistent performances this season.
The Paris Diamond League victory adds valuable points to Amusan’s Diamond League campaign as she continues preparations for the Diamond League Final and other major international competitions later this year.
With another commanding display in Paris, Amusan has extended her winning run and further underlined her readiness for the challenges ahead, maintaining her place among the leading athletes in the women’s 100m hurdles this season.
