Amusan Blazes to Stunning 12.19s, Smashes Commonwealth Games Record in HeatNigeria’s sprint hurdles queen, Tobi Amusan, produced another breathtaking performance by storming to victory in her women’s 100m hurdles heat with a blistering 12.19 seconds. Although the race was aided by a +3.8 m/s tailwind, making the time ineligible for record purposes, it stands as the fastest time ever run at the Commonwealth Games in the event. Amusan cruised comfortably into the final ahead of South Africa’s Marione Fourie, who finished in 12.50s, while Jamaica’s Kerrica Hill placed third in 12.69s. The Nigerian star will now head into the final as the overwhelming favourite, with fans hoping she can crown her sensational form with another major international title.
