Tobi .lAmusan, the world champion hurdler and holder of the record, is optimistic that she can break the 11-second barrier this week at the Lausanne Diamond League and the Golden Spikes Meet in Ostrava.
In 12.12 seconds, Amusan set the previous mark at the World Championships in 2017.
Even in the final, she ran a 12.06-second time, but the tailwind prevented the time from being recognized as a new record.
I firmly believe that nothing is impossibly difficult, and 11 seconds? Most sure,” Amusan said to the media prior to the Golden Spike competition on Tuesday in Ostrava, in the eastern Czech Republic.
