After conquering in Kingston, Amusan heads to Atlanta to battle Harrison at adidas Atlanta City Games

There will be no rest for Tobi Amusan in her quest to add the Olympic gold to the World 100m hurdles title she won two years ago in Oregon, USA as the 27 year old returns to the USA, this time Atlanta after her 12.40 catch-me-if-you can run at the 2024 Jamaican Athletics Invitational in Kingston, Jamaica on Saturday.

The Nigerian has been confirmed for the 2024 adidas Atlanta City Games and it will be a race featuring the two fastest women in the history of the event.

Amusan is the reigning World record holder after running 12.12 on her way to winning the World title in Eugene, Oregon in 2022 and will go head to head with Kendra Harrison.

Harrison, the 2018 World Athletics Indoor Champion in the 60m hurdles and 2020 Olympic silver medalist, is the former world record-holder and stands as the second fastest 100m hurdler of all-time at 12.20.

Interestingly, Harrison holds a 17-7 lead over Amusan in races between the two but the Nigerian has won seven of the last 10 of such clashes.
