World record holder Tobi Amusan delivered a stunning performance at the 2025 Paris Diamond League on Friday, storming to a season-best time of 12.24 seconds to finish second in the women’s 100m hurdles.
The race marked Amusan’s second-fastest time ever, trailing only her world record of 12.12s set in 2022.
She surged in the closing stages but fell just short of catching American Grace Stark, who exploded off the blocks and maintained her lead to win in a personal best and meet record of 12.21s.
Stark’s time not only earned her victory but also ranked her as the fifth-fastest woman in history over the 100m hurdles.
Meanwhile, Jamaica’s Ackera Nugent also impressed, finishing third in a rapid 12.30s in one of the fastest women’s sprint hurdle races of the season.
