I Expect Harder Women’s Hurdles In 2027 – Tobi Amusan

Popular Nigerian sprinter Tobi Amusan has said that she is determined to end the 2026 season on a high. This comes after she claimed silver at the World Athletics Ultimate Championships, and fans have been reacting.

Admitting that the women’s 100m hurdles is becoming increasingly competitive every year, Amusan stated that the intensity has reached another level and athletes are constantly rising up to the challenge at major tournaments.

Tobi concluded by appreciating God and her loved ones for giving her the push she needs to go all the way.

Her words, “First, God is good.

What started off as an amazing season, in between I had some nippings here and there. You know, I’m not a robot. The body did shut down at a point. And I got back, built the momentum one race at a time.

Coming into this championship, my mindset going to the line was, we die here. I just kept telling myself I have to give it my all. I mean, I’ve always given my all at every meet.

Today is just one of those days where I have to bring my A-plus game. And I don’t care what happened in the race. All I knew was, look, I did it. That’s all I knew. And I looked up and I saw the silver medal place finish.

I was like, look, I came in second place. God is good.

I’m not going to lie. It was very rough. It was very rough.

I mean, to my family, to my mentor, to my coach, to my boyfriend. They spoke the life back into me. And, you know, this morning it was all about put the past behind you and just go for it.

And those few sentences that I got here and there got me through this finish line today, and God.

A statement kwa? I’m coming home with a medal, you are talking about making a statement? I don’t know the statement you are looking for.

But, I mean, I’m looking forward to end the season on a high note. I still have one more meet, I know.

I’m still there, and we’d go get recharged for 2027 after that.”
