100m hurdles: Amusan makes Diamond League history

Nigeria's Tobi Amusan is bouncing back from recent setbacks. She had been suspended for doping and then rehabilitated, but unfortunately finished 6th in the 100 hurdles final at the World Championships. Amusan finishes her season in style. She won her third consecutive women's 100 m hurdles title at the Diamond League in Eugene.

She finished 1st in the race and set a season's best of 12'33. Puerto Rico's Jasmine Camacho-Quinn was second in 12'38 and American Keni Harrison third in 12'44. World champion Danielle Williams of Jamaica was fourth in 12''47.

Amusan, with Sunday's remarkable performance, made history as the second woman in Diamond League history after Dawn Nelson-Harper to win a hat-trick of 100 m hurdles titles.
