Amusan tops list of five finalists for Women’s World Athlete of the Year

World 100m hurdles champion, Tobi Amusan, has been ranked the fifth best female athlete in 2022.

The World Athletics ranked each athlete according to the points they make from their performances during the season, using the scoring tables of athletics.

The 25-year-old Amusan had a fantastic year and became the first Nigerian world champion in an athletics event when she won the 2022 World Championships 100m hurdles gold medal.

She also set the world record of 12.12 seconds in the semifinal of the championship and backed it up with a 12.06s performance in the final.

She also won gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, before retaining her Diamond League Trophy in Zurich in a new meet record of 12.29s. The previous record, which stood for 22 years, was held by an American legend, Gail Devers.

The World Athletics recently ratified Amusan’s women’s world 100m hurdles record set at the 2022 World Championships in Oregon, United States.

Amusan also made the shortlist of five finalists for the Women’s World Athlete of The Year Award.

Jamaica’s sprints legend, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, tops the list, followed by her compatriot, Sharicka Jackson. Venezuela’s Triple Jump queen, Yulimar Rojas, occupies the third position, and USA’s Sydney McLaughlin in fourth.

Netherland’s 400m Hurdler Femke Bol is sixth, Ethiopia’s runner, Gudaf Tsegay is seventh, Ukraine’s high jumper, Yaroslava Mahuchikh is eighth, Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon is ninth, while American shot put thrower. Chase Ealey is ranked tenth.
