At the African Senior Athletics Championships in Accra, Ghana, Tobi Amusan powered to gold in the women’s 100m hurdles with a time of 12.83 seconds, securing Nigeria’s first medal of the 2026 event and her third straight continental title. During her ceremony, organizers played the previous national anthem ‘Arise, O Compatriots,’ drawing cheers and mixed reactions from fans who cherish the tune despite its 2024 replacement. Nigeria added a second gold in the mixed 4x400m relay, while Amusan called the victory ‘mission accomplished’ amid her ongoing dominance.
