Nigeria's Tobi Amusan missed out on the podium at the Diamond League final in Brussels after American hurdler Masai Russell secured the title with a meet record of 12.20 seconds. Russell's training partner Devynne Charlton from the Bahamas claimed second place with a personal best of 12.33 seconds, while Jamaica's Megan Simmonds took third with a season's best of 12.43 seconds.
Russell had previously broken the 12-second barrier in Zurich, becoming the first woman to achieve this feat. Amusan had previously won the title in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and had held the world record for four years before Russell surpassed her in Zurich.
