Nigerian track and field athlete Oluwatobiloba Ayomide Amusan better known as Tobi Amusan, has failed to defend her World Title after placing 6th in the finals which held on 24 August at the ongoing World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary. Amusan who came 6th in 12.62s in her third consecutive final, lost first place to Jamaica's Danielle Williams who won the title in a season-best of 12.43s. Puerto Rico's Jasmine Camacho-Quinn came second in 12.44s while American Kendra Harrison came third in 12.46s.

Before Tobi lost her position to Danielle Williams, Tobi set the now surpassed world record for the women’s 100m hurdles of 12.12 seconds at the 2022 World Athletics Championship. Two months before the 2023 Athletics Championship, Tobi had been suspended after she was slammed with Antidoping Charges by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) which led to fears of the athlete being unable to compete in this year's championship. However, following investigations, a disciplinary panel cleared Amusan of any wrongdoing just two days before the commencement of the championship.
