Tobi Amusan Targets Historic Third African 100m Hurdles Title at 2026 Championships in Accra

Tobi Amusan wants a third African 100 metres hurdles title, and she wants it in Accra. No woman has won the event three times at the championships. She has spent the season running as if the history is a formality and the race is the thing that still has to be done properly.

Home support will be loud and not especially useful between the hurdles. Amusan’s race is a matter of the first three barriers and the drive to the line, and the field in Accra knows the split she is capable of. She has been clear that a continental title is not a warm-up. It is the race in front of her.

A third gold would sit next to the world title and the record. She is treating it as its own job.
