Overview
Nigeria concluded their campaign at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo with Tobi Amusan as their sole medallist, claiming silver in the women’s 100m hurdles while Ezekiel Nathaniel provided a memorable finale by breaking his own national 400m hurdles record.
Amusan once again underlined her position as the country’s most reliable global performer, taking silver in her signature event to provide the delegation with its only podium finish and maintain her reputation as one of the world’s leading hurdlers.
The championships ended on a dramatic note for Nigeria as Nathaniel capped the country’s campaign by running 47.11 seconds to finish fourth in the men’s 400m hurdles final, setting a new national record for the sixth time in 2025.
The 22-year-old’s effort, though narrowly missing the podium, represented both a personal best and a new Nigerian benchmark in an event filled with high drama.
