Amusan wins fourth national title
World record holder in the Women’s 100m hurdles, Tobi Amusan, claimed her fourth Nigerian title at the ongoing Athletics Federation of Nigeria’s National Trials at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin-City on Monday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
She powered through to the finish line at a time of 12.78s ahead of Adaobi Tabugbo, who finished second in 13.33s.
The event, which ends on Tuesday (today), will be used by the AFN to pick athletes for the Paris Olympics, the Africa Championships to be held later this month in Cameroon, and the World U-20 Championship in Lima, Peru, from August 27 to 31.
Although Amusan had qualified for the Olympics, she executed her race smoothly in Benin-City to defend her title.
