Nigerian track star Tobi Amusan has made the country proud yet again, winning a silver medal in the women’s 100m hurdles at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Amusan clocked a strong 12.29 seconds to finish second behind Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, who set a national record.
This achievement comes amidst a heated dispute with the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), sparked by Amusan’s public criticism of inadequate athlete kits provided by the federation. Despite the controversy, Amusan’s performance demonstrated her resilience and world-class talent as she continues to represent Nigeria on the global stage.
Her silver medal adds to an impressive career resume including a world record and multiple major titles.
