  • She finished ahead of the American duo of Grace Stark (12.38 seconds) and Alaysha Johnson (12.39 seconds).

  • The 12.28-second mark matches the times Amusan previously set at the Xiamen and Rabat Diamond League meetings earlier in 2026, marking the third time she has achieved this specific time this season.

Season Momentum and Outlook This victory marks Amusan’s second Diamond League win of 2026, building on her previous success in Rabat and her win at the New Taipei City Athletics Open earlier this month.

  • Amusan, 28, entered the current season following her fourth consecutive African title victory.

  • Having secured three straight Diamond League titles between 2021 and 2023, she is now positioning herself to contend for the Diamond League Final later this season.

African Action Congress (AAC) 2027 presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has cautioned citizens against falling for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s stance on reversing the fuel subsidy.
