Competing against a stacked field of 100m specialists, Amusan held her own, showing sharp form and sprint strength as she sharpened her speed in preparation for the hurdles season. The race was won by Jamaica’s Tina Clayton, who stormed to victory in 10.98s (1.8 m/s wind), followed closely by American Jacious Sears in 11.04s.
While the 100m flat is not her primary event, Amusan’s time marked a strong indicator of her fitness and competitive edge as the Paris 2024 Olympics loom large. The reigning world record holder in the 100m hurdles has increasingly used sprint races to fine-tune her explosive start and top-end speed, and this outing reaffirms her readiness.
Her performance adds to the excitement surrounding her 2024 campaign, with fans and analysts closely watching her build-up towards major championships
