Amusan participated in challenging race in the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary, against NCAA champion Nugent, World Indoor Champion Cyréna Samba-Mayela, and Dutch Nadine Visser, among others. Amusan was authorized to defend her championship last week after the Athletics Integrity Unit appeals panel determined that she had not broken anti-doping regulations despite missing three whereabouts tests in a 12-month period, according to Punch.
After winning her 100m Hurdles heat in Budapest, the Ijebu Ode native led the rest of the field out in the semi-final on Wednesday.
