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.
