The world record holder was at her running best on Thursday as she retained her Diamond League crown
Tobiloba Amusan of Nigeria successfully defended her Diamond League title on Thursday, setting a new Meet Record of 12.29s in Zurich.
Kendra Harrison of the United States and Britany Anderson of Jamaica finished second and third, respectively, behind the unstoppable Nigerian hurdler.
While Amusan’s win of the Diamond League trophy last year came as a surprise, she was a firm favourite this term after a string of spectacular performances around the world.
And Amusan, the reigning Commonwealth and World 100m hurdles champion, did not disappoint, winning the final major global title of the outdoor season despite a strong challenge from her arch rivals.
It was from Zurich last year that Amusan reached new heights, and she has not looked back.
Last year, the Nigerian hurdler began her historic run on the track by setting a new African record of 12.42 seconds to win the 100m hurdles in Zurich.
