World record holder Tobi Amusan has secured her berth in the 2026 Wanda Diamond League Final following a consistent run in the women’s 100m hurdles this season.
The former world champion accumulated 28 points from five Diamond League meetings, comfortably sealing qualification for the season-ending championship set for September 4–5 in Brussels, Belgium.
Amusan currently ranks second in the standings behind American Masai Russell, who leads with 32 points. Both athletes have remaining races in London, Lausanne, Silesia, and Zurich before the final.
Russell owns the year’s fastest time of 12.14s, while Amusan’s season best of 12.28s—a mark she has hit three times—trails her rival.
The pair are expected to renew their rivalry in Brussels, where Amusan will chase a fourth Diamond League title after winning three straight from 2021 to 2023.
Amusan still holds the world record of 12.12s, set during her world title run four years ago in Eugene.
