Athletics Federation of Nigeria President, Tonobock Okowa says Tobi Amusan’s historic feat at the Diamond League final in Zurich is the perfect way to close what has been a glorious year for Nigerian track and field.
Amusan made history as the first Nigerian to be crowned Diamond League champion, after winning the 100m hurdles race at the Weltklasse Diamond League meeting in Zurich.
The 24- year- old also set a new 12.42 seconds African record in addition to winning the USD 30,000 top prize money and securing qualification for the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA next year.
