Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan failed to defend her women’s 100m hurdles title at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after claiming bronze on Thursday.
Amusan finished third after clocking 12.60 in a race won by Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton and Megan Simmonds of Jamaica took the silver medal.
Amusan had beaten Charlton to win gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
The 29-year-old had hoped to become the first woman to win a third consecutive gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, as she had been undefeated at the event since making her debut in 2018 in Gold Coast, Australia.

The bronze medal is Team Nigeria’s second laurel in athletics for the night. Earlier, Chukwuebuka Enekwechi became the first Nigerian to win a gold medal in the men’s shot put at the games.
Amusan’s latest feat means Team Nigeria has won 16 medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games comprising eight gold, five silver, and three bronze.
