• Tobi Amusan has won gold for the third time at the African Games
• The Nigerian blistered her way to gold in the 100m hurdles in Accra

Tobi Amusan successfully defended her 100m hurdles gold at the African Games in Accra after blistering to victory in the final on Wednesday.

The Nigerian has become the undisputed queen of the track after winning the 100m hurdles race for the third successive championship.

The World Record holder also anchored the 4X100m relay team to gold to add to her tall list of medals from the African Games.

"Putting one for the team, it's an absolute pleasure. I got to represent my family, myself, and my country. I am just thankful," she added.

Amusan was in the news last year over a 'whereabouts' violation, which almost saw her lose her world title, as reported by Reuters.

The situation left a dent in her success on the track, but the University of Texas graduate does not care what people think about her.

"I really don't care about what people think about me and I just come out here like I have always done to compete. Win or lose, I am still Tobi. And if you still don't believe I am the world record holder, stick with it, it is not my problem," she said.

Amusan is looking forward to representing Nigeria at the summer Olympic Games in Paris with the hopes of winning gold for her country.
