Tobi Amusan is set to return to Diamond League action in Paris, competing in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Meeting de Paris on June 20.
She’ll face a stacked field featuring world medallist Keni Harrison, Jamaican star Ackera Nugent, and current leader Grace Stark from the United States.
Amusan has a strong start to the season, with a notable win in Rabat last month where she clocked a season-best and meet record time of 12.45 seconds. This performance has placed her fourth in the Diamond League standings with 10 points.
The Paris meet promises to be highly competitive, with several athletes already clocking sub-12.40 seconds this season.
