Amusan wins, Brume shines at Gyulai Istvan women’s 100mh, long jump event

World and Commonwealth Games champion Tobi Amusan on Tuesday raced to a second consecutive victory in two days, clocking 12.35secs (-0.5) in the women’s 100m hurdles at the Gyulai István Memorial meet in Hungary.

With just over a month until the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, the Nigerian beat the United States of America duo of Nia Ali who came in 2nd in 12.41secs and Lay-Lay Johnson to 3rd 12.50secs.

The Gyulai Istvan Memorial is the penultimate Gold meeting in this season’s World Athletics Continental Tour Gold.

Meanwhile, world silver medalist, Ese Brume, put up a decent jumping series at Gyulai István Memorial, finishing 2nd in women’s Long Jump with a mark of 6.69m. Serbia’s Milica Gardašević won the event with 6.80m.
