Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan claimed victory in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Paris Diamond League on Sunday with a season-equalling time of 12.27 seconds.
Amusan crossed the finish line ahead of the field at Stade Charléty. American Grace Stark finished second in 12.38 seconds, while Johnson placed third in 12.39 seconds.
The performance marked the third time this year the world record holder has clocked 12.27s. She had previously recorded the same winning time at the Xiamen and Rabat Diamond League meetings.
The Paris meet was staged under a revised schedule after a severe heatwave across France forced organisers to cancel all lower-tier youth and regional club events. Despite track temperatures reaching 32 degrees Celsius, Amusan produced a commanding display.
