WORLD record champion, Tobi Amusan shed tears of joy as the world stands to honour her (WATCH VIDEO)

TOBI Amusan proved to the world on Monday as she set a World Record, twice, to win the 100m hurdles in style at the World Championships.

Tobi, improving on her African Record during the heats, many knew Amusan would be on to bigger things in the semi-final but not the World Record

She won a Gold medal in the Women’s 100m Hurdles at the World Athletics Championships, after breaking the world record with a time of 12.06 seconds.

In the semi-final, Amusan delivered an extraordinary time; clocking 12.12secs to obliterate the former World Record of 12.20secs held by Keni Harrison of the United States since 2016.

“I wanted to get out and go,” said Amusan after the race. “I did what I had to do.”

While that was amazing in itself, Amusan was not yet done as she improved on the World Record in her final race some hours later; winning in 12.06secs to become the first Nigerian World Champion ever.

Amusan got off to a scorching start and was smoothly into her stride after the first hurdle, building a clear lead and then pulling away ahead of Anderson and the fast-closing Camacho-Quinn for the gold.
