– She moves it half an eternity to short sprints. She moves it by eight hundredths in the semi-final, and Kendra Harrison is beaten in this semi-final, her world record breaks, said news’s commentator Jann Post. The Nigerian clocked in at 12.12 seconds, which is eight hundredths faster than Harrison’s record from 2016. Amusan’s personal best before the semi-finals was 12.40. – Is this possible? Is this race possible? 12,12, you guys. It’s frighteningly fast, exclaimed expert Christina Vukicevic Demidov. Had to check the wind measurement – I had to look at the wind measurement before I believed that clock, but it was far inside. She looks completely shocked herself too. And then in the semi-finals, then, said Post. Amusan has been at the top of the world in the branch for several years, but has struggled to get the last bit out of the championship. She got the sour fourth place in the previous World Cup, in Doha in 2019, and in the Olympics in Tokyo a year ago. – It is a great inspiration, I know what Tobi has been through over the years with two fourth places. I know she’s been close to throwing in the towel. So to see her do this is fantastic, says Jamaican Danielle Williams, who advanced in time 12.41 in Amusan’s heat. – An iconic moment Williams is not the only competitor to pay tribute to Amusan. – My first thought was “My God, I am part of an iconic moment on the athletics track”, says Michelle Jenneke to news after the race. – It was an absolutely indescribable moment. I know she has run very fast, but to do that and to break the world record is absolutely incredible, says the Australian.
