The world 100m Hurdles record holder at 12.12s will be aiming to kick off her indoor season on a memorable note as she prepares to have an iconic outing at the Paris Olympic Games.

Amusan's PB in the 60m Hurdles is 7.84s, which she ran in 2020 at a meet in Karlsruhe. With Glory Alozie's African Record still set at 7.82s, the 2022 world champion will have her eyes set on smashing it and adding it to her impeccable record collections.
