Two weeks after smashing the world record in the 100m hurdles at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon USA, Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan followed up by smashing the Commonwealth Games record by winning the gold medal on Sunday morning in Birmingham, England.
Running in lane 5, the Nigerian was slow out of the blocks but got into her stride at the halfway stage to power home in a new record of 12.30s.
The silver went to Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas, who finished in 12.58 – just ahead of England’s Sember who clocked 12.59.
