Tobi Amusan Wins Silver at World Championships, Earns $55,000 Prize

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan, not only clinched silver in the women’s one hundred metres hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, but also walked away with a combined fifty-five thousand Dollars, in prize money and kit bonuses.

The twenty-eight-year-old, who is Nigeria’s only gold medallist at the showpiece event, stormed to second place when she clocked twelve point two nine seconds in a race that saw Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, stun the field to win gold in a new national record of twelve point two four seconds.

The silver further cements Tobi Amusan’s position among the world’s elite hurdlers.
