Tobi Amusan saved for the last day of Eugene’s world the best party ending with a Funny world record in the 100 hurdles. The Nigerian broke Kenny Harrison’s record (12”20), who ran to his left, to access the final through the large door. Once in the medal race, the Nigerian went back to running as usual to stop the clock 12”06, a new record that was not ratified due to high winds favor had on the running time (+2.5).
Despite failing to extend his own record, eat burst out with joy at his victory first international medal ahead of the world’s best and the first world gold in Nigeria’s history. The Nigerian came into the appointment with a personal best record of 12″40 and didn’t count in the pool to win gold. The first surprised was him, who, holding a microphone from the same track, recognized everyone present that he did not know how he did it and he did not expect to run so much. He just thanked “God” for his help to make this possible.
In second position came the Jamaican brittany andersonwho took advantage of the stumble of Kenny Harrison -one of the main favorites- to make a time of 12″23 seconds. The strongest hurdler of the year completed the podium, Jasmine Cmacho-Quinnwho came for the gold and came away with a rather disappointing bronze with 12”23 (with five thousand more than Anderson).
All in all they have lost three world records at Hayward Field in the championship days after the 50”68 achieved by Sydney McLaughlin and the 6.21m Mondo Duplantisjust after what Amusan achieved.
