‘I don’t care if it sounds unrealistic, it’s gonna happen…,’ Amusan sends cryptic message on eve of 2025

Former World 100m hurdles champion and reigning world record holder, Tobi Amusan has sent a cryptic message ahead of the 2025 track and field season.
The 27-year-old had a 2024 season to forget after failing to make it to the final of the high hurdles at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The Nigerian returned to training in September under a new coach, Glen Mills.
Mills coached Usain Bolt to multiple 100m and 200m world records as well as back-to-back Olympics 100/200m win (2008 and 2012) as well as multiple World Athletics Championships gold medal.
This decision to change from Lacena Golding-Clarke, the former Commonwealth 100m hurdles champion to Mills may not be unconnected with her desire to return to the top of the event like she did in 2022 when she set the 12.12 world record on her way to making history as the first Nigerian to win a World outdoor title.
The reigning Nigeria, African an Commonwealth champion looks to be in a hurry for the 2025 athletics season to start.
‘I don’t care if it sounds unrealistic, it’s gonna happen…,’ Amusan wrote on her X page, @Evaglobal01 on the eve of 2025, a message that is open to different interpretations.
Could it mean the Nigerian is eager to reclaim the World 100m hurdles title she lost in 2023 when the competition makes its 20th stop in Tokyo, Japan in September 2025?
Or, is she working to fulfil Colin Jackson, former World 110m record holder’s prediction that the petite Nigerian can run 12 seconds flat over the high hurdles, thereby breaking her own World record?
Amusan could also be challenging for Bahamian, Devynee Charlton’s 7.65 world 50m hurdles record just a year after the Nigerian ran 7.75 to break the 7.82 African record Glory Alozie sey way back in 1999.
Nigerians and indeed the whole world will be watching what Amusan is hinting at with her message.
