Tobi Amusan Wins Third Consecutive African 100m Hurdles Title as Nigeria Dominates Day 2 of African Athletics Championships in Accra
Tobi Amusan stormed to her third consecutive African 100m hurdles title in Accra, cementing her legacy as the continent's greatest hurdler.
World record holder Tobi Amusan has once again proved untouchable on the African stage, storming to her third consecutive women's 100m hurdles title at the 2026 CAA Senior Athletics Championships in Accra, Ghana. The 29‑year‑old sprint icon crossed the line in 12.83 seconds on Wednesday, May 13, extending her reign as Africa's undisputed queen of the sprint barriers.
Amusan was not the only Nigerian on the podium. Adaobi Tabugbo added a bronze medal in the same event, underlining the country's dominance in the hurdles. It was the highlight of a six‑medal Day 2 for Team Nigeria, a performance that propelled the country to the top of the medal standings and sent a clear message that they intend to win the championships overall.
Rosemary Chukwuma, making her return to championship racing after missing the World Relays, delivered a blazing performance to claim silver in the women's 100m final. On the men's side, Chidera Ezeakor stormed to bronze in the men's 100m. The mixed 4x400m relay team — anchored by the ever‑reliable Chidi Okezie — struck gold, while Sade Olatoye secured silver in the women's hammer throw to complete a productive day for the Nigerian contingent.
Amusan's latest triumph further cements a legacy that already includes a world record, Commonwealth and African Games golds, and Diamond League trophies. That she achieved this victory despite the lingering memory of illness‑induced disappointment at the last edition of the African Championships made the moment even sweeter. Team Nigeria will now push for more medals as the championships continue through May 17.
