Reigning World and Commonwealth champion, Tobi Amusan won the women’s 100mH at the 2022 ISTAF World Continental Tour Silver meeting in Berlin, Germany on Sunday.

Amusan finished at 12.45s (-0.3) ahead of Tia Jones, 2nd in 12.58s while Megan Tapper finished 3rd in 12.66s.

She has now bounced back after finishing second behind 2020 Tokyo Olympics winner, Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico at the Diamond League Meet in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Compatriot and Commonwealth champion, Ese Brume wasn’t so lucky in her event as she finished 2nd in the women’s long jump.

Brume, who clinched her first win at the Diamond League Meet winning the Women’s Long Jump event at the Allianz Memorial Van Damme in Brussels, Belgium on Friday, jumped a distance of 6.78 meters.

The Internationales Stadionfest (ISTAF) is an annual track and field meeting held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, the world’s oldest invitational one-day meeting.

It was first organised on July 3, 1921 at the Deutsches Stadion, which was replaced after the 1936 Summer Olympics by the current stadium in 1937.

Since 2010 it has been part of the IAAF World Challenge meetings, the second tier of global one-day athletics events.
