Tobi Amusan has said divine providence played a key role in her positive outing at the 2025 World Athletics Championships, DAILY POST reports.
The world record holder bounced back from her disappointing outing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris by winning silver in the women’s 100m hurdles in a time of 12.28s.
The race was won by Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, who clocked 12.24s.
Amusan made history by becoming the second Nigerian to win multiple medals at the World Athletics Championships following in the footsteps of Blessing Okagbare, and Ese Brume.
The 28-year-old said it has been an extremely difficult journey for her.
“It’s been God, the journey has been extremely rough. I’ve taken more L’s than wins and I’m just thankful that I have a great support system: my coach, my family, my mentors, my loved ones, my fans,” she told Making of Champions.
