She was only beaten by Jamaica's Ackera Nugent, who won the race in 12.32 seconds, while American Kendra Harrison came third in 12.50 seconds.

Even though it wasn't a Diamond League points race, the competition was as tough as a world championship final.

The field included top names like Danielle Williams, Masai Russell, and Tia Jones, making Amusan's performance even more impressive.

Known as the "Tobi Express," the 2022 world champion and current world record holder (12.12 seconds) continues to show she's in strong shape ahead of the World Championships later this year in Tokyo.
