Glo, in celebration of its ambassador and accomplished athlete, Tobi Amusan, is showering praise as she secures her third consecutive victory in the women's 100 meters hurdles at the Diamond League championship held in Oregon, United States.
Athletics Champion, Tobi Amusan
Amusan's remarkable performance saw her clinching the victory with a time of 12.33 seconds during the race held on a Sunday evening. This achievement marks her third consecutive Diamond League title triumph.
Back in 2021, she secured her first Diamond League trophy with a time of 12.42 seconds, and she successfully defended the title in 2022, recording 12.29 seconds in Zurich, Switzerland.
Glo, in an official statement released on a Tuesday in Lagos, commended Tobi Amusan for her exceptional feat. The company acknowledged her victory as a testament to her incredible talent and professionalism, even in the face of recent challenges.
Glo expressed, "With the third Diamond League trophy in her kitty, Amusan remains a true African ambassador on the world stage and an inspiration to millions of youths who look up to her as a role model."
They described her as a symbol of the Nigerian spirit of resilience and hard work, encouraging her to continue her journey, achieve more accolades, and leave an indelible mark on global athletics that will be remembered for years to come.
Despite her recent setback in failing to defend her world title, where she finished sixth in the final at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary, Amusan promised to return "stronger and better."
Amusan's achievement of winning a hat-trick of 100m hurdles titles makes her only the second woman in Diamond League history to accomplish this feat, following in the footsteps of Dawn Nelson-Harper.
