Tobi Amusan, the current world record holder in the women's 100 meters hurdles, continued her dominance of the event by winning the Diamond League trophy for the third consecutive time in Oregon on September 17, 2023.

Amusan ran a Season Best time of 12.33 seconds to finish ahead of her rivals in Sunday's race in Oregon.

Amusan got out strong and held off a strong field over the final hurdles, crossing in a season-best 12.33. Hard-charging Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico finished second in 12.38 and American Keni Harrison was third in 12.44. World champion Danielle Williams of Jamaica finished fourth in 12.47.

For Amusan, the world record holder in the event, the victory brings a triumphant close to what has been a difficult summer.

Amusan with Sunday’s remarkable performance made history as the second woman in Diamond League history after Dawn Nelson-Harper to win a hat-trick of 100m hurdles titles.
