Tobi Amusan is determined to retain her women’s 100m hurdles title at the World Athletics Championships.
The Nigeria’s sprint hurdler started the defence of her title with a convincing win in Heat 5 in Budapest on Tuesday night.
The 26-year-old coasted home with a time of 12.48s, PNO SPORTS reports.
“I am just thankful I am here in Budapest and able to race, using my talent,” she said after the race.
“It has not been the best, but I am here. I tried to stay as relaxed as possible (through the uncertainty) and do what my coach tells me. So, here I am.”
Amusan will compete in the semi-finals on Wednesday night (today). READ ALSO:
