Tobi Amusan has won the women’s 100-meter hurdles at the Diamond League meet in Rabat, Morocco, with a blistering time of 12.24 seconds on Sunday. The 28-year-old Nigerian clocked a season’s best and shattered the meeting record previously held by American Brianna McNeal, who ran 12.51 seconds in 2016.

Amusan’s win marks her first major triumph of the 2025 athletics season and her 15th career victory in the Diamond League. After finishing fourth in Xiamen and Shanghai earlier this May, Amusan’s performance in Rabat was a statement of resurgence.

Her only previous win this season came in March at the Velocity Fest 16 in Jamaica, an event with a less competitive field.

More hurdles practice, because I have been doing more sprinting. It was after the first two Diamond League meetings, I knew I had to go back to doing more hurdle drills, two weeks in, I can tell the difference,” she said.

Amusan’s turnaround comes after a disappointing end to her 2024 campaign, where she failed to qualify for the finals at the Paris Olympics. In response, she joined Racers Track Club in Jamaica, training under Glen Mills, the legendary coach who once guided Usain Bolt.

From 2021 to 2023, Amusan dominated the Diamond League circuit, winning the 100m hurdles trophy three years in a row. With this commanding performance in Rabat, she has sent a strong message to her rivals as she eyes a fourth title.
