"It has been really rocky you know, coming out from an injury, then I'm not sure I'll get back into training, and I mean this is the first hurdles race I've had, so I'm just thankful," she said.
When asked if the injury was a major one, Amusan confirmed it. "Yes, it was a major one, every athlete has a story to tell when it comes to injuries, but I'm not going to disclose which but I'm just thankful to be back."
