Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has claimed the bronze medal in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, bringing to a close her remarkable reign as the event’s undisputed Commonwealth champion.

Amusan crossed the finish line in 12.60 seconds, finishing third in a fiercely contested final after falling just short of becoming the first woman to win three consecutive Commonwealth Games titles in the event.

The result marks the end of an era that began at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, where she captured her first gold medal before successfully defending her crown at Birmingham 2022. Those victories established the Nigerian hurdler as one of the most dominant athletes in Commonwealth history.

Although she could not complete the historic hat-trick in Glasgow, the 29-year-old remains one of the most accomplished track athletes Africa has ever produced. Beyond her Commonwealth success, Amusan has consistently represented Nigeria on the global stage, earning recognition for her speed, resilience and longevity at the highest level of athletics.

Her bronze medal also adds another chapter to an already decorated international career, reinforcing her status as one of Nigeria’s greatest sporting ambassadors.

While the podium position may not have been the result she had hoped for, Amusan’s legacy extends far beyond a single race. Her achievements have inspired a new generation of African athletes and cemented her place among the continent’s track and field legends.
