Tobi Amusan became the first Nigerian to win the gold medal at the World Athletic Championship and she did it in style by breaking existing records.

First, she set a record time in the semi-finals with 12.12 seconds, which broke the 12.20 record of America’s Kendra Harrison, who finished behind Amusan in second place.

Then she clocked 12.06 seconds in the final which would have broken her new world record, but her new record was ineligible as the wind speed was over the legal limit.

“The goal was to go out and to win this gold medal,” she said.
