LEGEND: Unstoppable Tobi Amusan blazes to historic third African Games title
She's unstoppable and undefeated on the African continent. Tobi Amusan completed a hat-trick of titles in the women's 100m Hurdles at the African Games in Ghana.
But ever since, the Bahamian has been in blazing form, clocking a new 60m Hurdles WR of 7.67s, then lowering it to an outstanding 7.65s to win the World Indoor title in Glasgow.
)
Now brimming with confidence as a WR holder and world indoor champion, Charlton will be gunning to make her outdoor season even more memorable by recording her first famous victory over Amusan since their college days.
However, the Nigerian track legend won't be the only rival she'll be watching out for, as reigning Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn is on the stacked list and will aim to show off the form she's in ahead of defending her title in Paris.

Also included in the field are reigning world champion Danielle Williams and her Jamaican compatriot Megan Tapper, while American highly-rated stars Masai Russel and Alaysha Johnson complete the list.
Any of the hurdlers are capable of recording a famous win, and like pundits have predicted, the race will be super fast and one for the ages.
