Jamaica’s Britany Anderson took silver and Puerto Rico’s Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn got bronze. Amusan, who had already run a new African record of 12.40 seconds in Saturday’s heats, said: “I believe in my abilities but I was not expecting a world record at these championships. I wanted to get out and go. I did what I had to do.” Great Britain’s Cindy Sember finished fourth in the semi-final won by Amusan, but qualified for the final with a British record of 12.50, beating sister Tiffany Porter’s 2014 mark by one hundredth of a second.
Amusan wasn’t the only athlete who flew the Nigerian flag high at the World Championship event. Nigeria’s Ese Brume has won a silver medal in the women’s long jump at the World Athletics Championship in Eugene, Oregon.

Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi played his first match in four months during Leicester City’s 3-1 win over League One side Derby County in a pre-season match on Saturday. Ndidi started and managed 60 minutes of the encounter that Brendan Rogers’ side won courtesy of goals from Nigerian compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho, Zambian Patson Daka, and Englishman Callum Wright.
After a first-half stalemate, Iheanacho slammed a well-taken strike into the net for his maiden goal of pre-season before Derby’s Tom Barkhuizen leveled matters 10 minutes later but Daka struck for the third time in pre-season before Wright completed the scoring. Ndidi started in a three-man midfield alongside Youri Tielemans and Luke Thomas as Rodgers went with a 3-5-2 system before he was substituted after an hour, with Senegalese Nampalys Mendy taking his place.
