Nigerian sprinter Tobi Amusan secured victory at the Grand Prix Brescia in Italy, setting the stage for the upcoming 2026 Diamond League Final. The 26-year-old hurdler clocked 12.56 seconds, overcoming a challenging headwind of 1.7m/s. Amusan edged out American Alaysha Johnson (12.62) and Jamaica's Ackera Nugent (12.75) to claim first place.
Notably, the event occurred days after Olympic champion Masai Russell broke his own world record with a time of 12.09 seconds at the Zurich Diamond League meet. Russell's performance set a new benchmark, trimming three hundredths of a second off Amusan's previous record of 12.12 seconds achieved at the Letzigrund Stadium.
