Despite having the slowest reaction time out of the blocks, Amusan, the former world record holder, showcased her incredible closing speed to cross the finish line with a world-class time. Her performance demonstrated her exceptional ability to overcome a slow start and compete with the best in the world.
The event was dominated by the American duo of Masai Russell and Tonea Marshall. Russell, the Olympic champion, won the race in a phenomenal 12.19 seconds, setting a new Diamond League record and cementing her position as the top hurdler in the world. Her compatriot, Tonea Marshall, finished closely behind in second place, smashing her personal best with a time of 12.24 seconds.
While a third-place finish might not be the top spot, Amusan's time of 12.25s is an excellent result and a clear sign that she is in superb form. The race, which saw three of the fastest times of the season, proves that the competition for major titles remains as fierce as ever.
