Nigerian track star Tobi Amusan has been allocated lane one for the highly anticipated women's 100m hurdles event at the Meeting de Paris. The prestigious Wanda Diamond League fixture is scheduled to hold at the Stade Charléty on June 28, 2026. The former world champion heads to France following a series of consistent appearances on the global athletics circuit.
Amusan has enjoyed a strong run of form this season; she accumulated thirteen points following impressive podium outings in both Rabat and Xiamen. She currently sits second in the overall Diamond League sprint hurdle standings behind America's Masai Russell. The upcoming French showdown represents another critical elite test for the multiple African champion as she refines her execution.
The single-lap hurdle field features an elite assembly of the fastest women in the world this year. Amusan will contend against indoor world record holder Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas and European star Nadine Visser. American contenders Grace Stark, Alaysha Johnson, and Kendra Harrison have also been confirmed alongside local French favorite Cyréna Samba-Mayela.
The line-up is completed by emerging track stars Pia Skrzyszowska, Ditaji Kambundji, Alia Armstrong, and South Africa's Marione Fourie. This competitive depth ensures a high-quality race that will heavily test Amusan's acceleration from the tight inside lane. Athletics fans are eager to see if the Nigerian icon can secure maximum points in the French capital.
