On the same day, in the semifinals of the 2022 World Athletics Championships in the women's 100m hurdles held in Eugene, Oregon, usa, Nigeria's Amsan broke the world record held by The American Harrison in 12.12 seconds. In the final that followed, she won the title with a time of 12.06 seconds. However, the wind speed in the final was 2.5 m/s downwind, which was an over-wind racing environment, and Amsan's final result was not recognized as a world record.
