Oluwatobiloba AMUSAN

After winning the Commonwealth Games and African titles in 2018, she retained her African Games crown in 2019. Later that year, she ran a personal best 12.48 in the semi-finals at the Doha World Championships, but missed out on a medal by just two-hundredths of a second.

At Tokyo 2020, held in 2021, finished fourth again at a major competition with her old college rival Camacho-Quinn taking gold. But that all changed a year later at the 2022 World Championships.

In the semi-finals in Eugene, Oregon, Amusan broke the world record with a time of 12.12 - eight-hundredths inside Keni Harrison's mark from 2016. In the final, she went even quicker, but an excessive wind reading saw her 12.06 ruled out for record purposes. However, she had shaken off her "almost girl" tag to become Nigeria's first track and field world champion.

Amusan retained her Commonwealth Games title later that year but was provisionally suspended in 2023 due to her missing three drug tests in a 12-month period. That ban was lifted just before the 2023 Budapest World Championships when a disciplinary tribunal cleared her of a doping violation, and she went on to finish sixth in her world title defence.

With that controversy behind her, Amusan clinched a third consecutive Diamond League title. She also completed a hat-trick of African Games triumphs in 2024 in Accra where she also anchored Nigeria to women's 4x100m relay gold. Now she is looking forward to trying to repeat her 2022 World Championships heroics at her third Olympic Games in Paris.
