Russell Shatters 12-Second Barrier | Nigeria News

Masai Russell shattered the 100m hurdles world record and claimed the Diamond League crown in Brussels with a blistering 12.20, edging out Tobi Amusan—who finished fourth in 12.54—by a staggering three-hundredths of a second. Russell’s new mark, set earlier in Zurich at 12.09, makes her the first woman to officially break the 12-second barrier. Devynne Charlton (12.33) and Megan Simmonds (12.43) rounded out the podium, while Amusan, still holding the record she’d held for four years, showed resilience despite falling short in this high-stakes showdown.
