Amusan made headlines last year when she set the current world record of 12.12 seconds at the World Championships. In the final, she even clocked an impressive time of 12.06 seconds, but it was not recognised as a new record due to the presence of a tailwind.
Expressing her confidence, Amusan told reporters ahead of the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava, "I'm a big believer in the Bible, nothing is impossible and 11 seconds? Most definitely."
The talented hurdler is set to compete in Ostrava today, where she will face formidable opponents such as Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, former world champion Nia Ali, and US sensation Tia Jones. Following that, she will continue her Diamond League campaign in Lausanne on June 30.
Joining Amusan in Lausanne will be Camacho-Quinn, Ali, Jones, and Alaysha Johnson, one of the best hurdlers this season. With her recent victory at the Racers Grand Prix in Jamaica, where she achieved a convincing Season's Best (SB) of 12.57 seconds, the reigning world champion aims to build on her success and showcase her skills on the international stage.
Furthermore, Amusan will be seeking redemption against the athletes who have handed her consecutive losses this season. The determined athlete is eager to overcome challenges and prove her mettle against her competitors.
As Amusan prepares to take on the world's best hurdlers, fans and supporters eagerly await her performances in the Golden Spikes Meet and Lausanne Diamond League. All eyes will be on her as she strives to break the elusive 11-second barrier and make her mark in the sport.
