Tobi Amusan has attributed her success in winning the silver medal at the 2025 World Athletics Championships to divine providence.
The world record holder bounced back from a disappointing performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris by finishing second in the women’s 100m hurdles with a time of 12.28 seconds.
Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji won the race, clocking 12.24 seconds.
Amusan made history as the second Nigerian athlete to win multiple medals at the World Athletics Championships, following Blessing Okagbare and Ese Brume.
Speaking to "Making of Champions," the 28-year-old said the journey has been extremely tough.
“It’s been God, the journey has been extremely rough. I’ve taken more L’s than wins and I’m just thankful that I have a great support system: my coach, my family, my mentors, my loved ones, my fans,” Amusan said.
Her silver medal adds to Nigeria’s growing legacy in athletics, reinforcing her status as one of the nation’s greatest track stars.
