World record holder, Tobi Amusan, has qualified for the 2026 Wanda Diamond League Final following an impressive run of consistent performances in the women’s 100m hurdles this season, The Punch reports.
The former world champion has accumulated 28 points from five Diamond League meetings, securing her place at the season-ending final, which will take place on September 4 and 5 in Brussels, Belgium.
Amusan occupies second place in the Diamond League standings, trailing only American hurdler Masai Russell, who tops the table with 32 points.
Both athletes are still expected to compete in the remaining Diamond League stops in London, Lausanne, Silesia and Zurich before they clash again in Brussels.
Russell currently boasts the fastest time in the world this season with 12.14 seconds, while Amusan’s best performance stands at 12.28 seconds, a time she has matched on three occasions this year.
The Nigerian star will be chasing a fourth Diamond League title in Brussels, having lifted the trophy in three straight seasons from 2021 to 2023.
Amusan also continues to hold the women’s 100m hurdles world record after clocking a remarkable 12.12 seconds during her historic gold medal-winning performance at the World Championships in Eugene four years ago.
