Jamaica’s Danielle Williams defeated reigning champion Tobi Amusan to win the women’s 100-meter hurdles world championship on Thursday in Budapest.
Williams, a 30-year-old athlete who had previously won in Beijing in 2015, finished with a time of 12.43 seconds, which was excellent.
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico, the Olympic champion, was beaten with a time of 12.44 seconds, earning Kendra Harrison of the United States the bronze medal with a time of 12.46 seconds.
The 2019 winner, Nia Ali, and the incumbent champion, Amusan, both fought to maintain their positions in the top three.
Amusan had been subject to a temporary ban for doping offences, however that ban was later removed prior to the competition.
During the Thursday final, Danielle Williams, competing from the outsider’s lane two, made a remarkable surge at the last hurdle, closely challenging Camacho-Quinn and Harrison.
