Joel Ajayi
Nigerian sprinter Tobi Amusan has cemented her status as the fastest woman in the world this year after an electrifying performance at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational. In a stunning display of speed and agility, Amusan blazed through the women’s 100m hurdles, crossing the finish line in an astonishing time of 12.40 seconds (with a wind speed of 0.9 m/s), setting a new World Lead time in the process.
Amusan’s remarkable victory saw her outpace reigning World Champion Danielle Williams of Jamaica, who finished in second place with a time of 12.46 seconds. American athlete Christina Clemons secured the third spot on the podium, clocking in at 12.54 seconds.
With this monumental achievement, Tobi Amusan has etched her name in the annals of athletics history, dethroning the reigning world champion and claiming her title as the fastest woman in the world this year. Her performance at the Jamaican athletics event showcases not only her exceptional talent and athleticism but also the relentless determination and hard work she has invested in her craft.
“This victory is a testament to Tobi Amusan’s exceptional skill and dedication to her sport,” remarked [spokesperson]. “Her triumph not only brings pride to Nigeria but also serves as inspiration to aspiring athletes worldwide.”
Amusan’s incredible feat underscores Nigeria’s growing presence and prowess in the world of track and field athletics. As she continues to break barriers and push the boundaries of her sport, Amusan exemplifies the spirit of Nigerian excellence and resilience on the global stage.
Amusan is also a three-time Diamond League winner, two-time Commonwealth Games winner and two-time African champion.

Lawal Delivers Another Brilliant Performance in Europe
After displaying great form for Istra 1961against Vukovar in the score draw encounter in the elite league few days ago in Croatia, Salim Fago Lawal has continued to enjoy rave of the moment status in the Eastern European nation.
On Wednesday, Lawal was on the scores sheet for Istra in the 75th minute against Kurilovec, but it was only for consolation, as Istra crashed out of Croatian cup in round 16.
It was a masterpiece display from the former Flying Eagles striker, whose work rate has shown great development after joining Istra from modest Nigerian clubside in 2023.
He has scored three goals and two assists, totally five – goal contribution as a striker so far this season.
Interestingly, two other Flying Eagles players, Israel Ayuma and Charles Agada, who are also former players of Mavlon FC, featured in the game and they gave good account of themselves.
Sadly, it was not the day of victory on the pitch for the three former players of Mavlon FC of Lagos.
