Tobi Amusan biography

Early Life and Education

Oluwatobiloba Amusan was born on April 23, 1997, in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. She is a well-known Nigerian athlete.

She began her early life as an athlete after completing her secondary school education. Amusan displayed tremendous athletic potential from a young age.

She completed her secondary education while in Nigeria at Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School in Ijebu-Ode before relocating to the USA for her undergraduate studies at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).

Her parents, both teachers, set the tone for her upbringing in Ijebu Ode, Nigeria, where she was raised in a strict environment.

Amusan recalls that “her existence revolved around school, sleeping, eating, and reading books.” “It’s the same cycle I’ve been in my entire life.”

Her running career began at the age of 15, when she competed in and won an inter-house 100m sprint competition.

After defeating a runner at the local athletics stadium that day, Amusan was inspired to take up the sport. Though it was initially a covert operation, he began formal training.

“Her mother was very supportive of her athletic career, whereas her father preferred that she focus on academics,” Amusan explains.

“He limited my time at the stadium, but I used to sneak there because my mother would say I was at church!”

Her mother’s lies actually paid off when Amusan qualified to represent Nigeria in the 2013 African Youth Championships and won silver in the 200m.

She qualified for the 200m semi-finals at the World Athletics U18 Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine, later that year, only to be disqualified due to a lane infringement.

She won gold in the 100 meter hurdles as well as the 200 meter dash. She also took silver in the long jump at the C-USA Championships.

Amusan broke the 13-second barrier in the hurdles at the El Paso UTEP Invitational with a time of 12.83 seconds.

Kim Turner’s 33-year-old UTEP 100-meter hurdles record was broken. At the 2016 NCAA Outdoor Championships, she finished second in the 100 mH. She finished 12.79 seconds behind Kentucky’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn.

Amusan also competed in the 2016 World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz. Despite having the second-fastest time ever, she finished fifth in the final. She went on to compete for Nigeria in the Rio Olympic Games, reaching the semifinals of the 100 meter hurdles.

In the absence of Sally Pearson, Danielle Williams, the 2015 World Champion, appeared to be the favorite to win the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia. In the final, however, Amusan surged ahead of her opponents and won by a full metre over Williams.
