Nigerian athlete Tobi Amusan showcased her dominance on the track once again as she clinched the gold medal in the women’s 100 meters hurdles at the 2024 African Games held in Accra, Ghana.

Amusan, the world record holder in the event, delivered a stellar performance, clocking an impressive time of 12.89 seconds at the University of Ghana stadium on Wednesday. Her remarkable speed left her competitors trailing behind as she secured a commanding victory.

Mozambique’s Sidoane Fiadanantsoaso and Ashley Tinashe of Zimbabwe claimed the silver and bronze medals, respectively, unable to match Amusan’s blistering pace.

The race wasn’t without its share of drama as Amusan faced a potential disqualification after a false-start during the initial attempt to commence the event. However, officials opted to issue her a yellow card instead, allowing her to proceed and ultimately claim the gold medal.

For Amusan, this victory marks her third consecutive African Games title, adding to her previous triumphs in the 2015 edition held in Brazzaville and the 2019 games in Rabat.

The 26-year-old athlete’s stellar performance in Accra is part of her continued success on the track this season, following her recent achievement of setting a new African women’s indoor record in the 60-meter hurdles in February.

In other events at the African Games, Nigerian athletes excelled on the track as Chidi Okezie secured the gold medal in the men’s 400 meters race, clocking an impressive time of 45.06 seconds. Meanwhile, Joseph Esther clinched the silver medal in the women’s 400 meters race, narrowly missing out on the gold to Mari Moraa of Kenya.

Okezie’s triumph marks a significant improvement from his performance in the 2019 games in Rabat, where he secured a bronze medal.
