Diamond League Final: Camacho-Quinn shows superiority over Ackera Nugent to win her first title in Brussels, In the absence of Tobi Amusan, Olympic bronze medallist Jasmine Camacho-Quinn showed her superiority in the women’s 100mH with an overpowering victory over Ackera Nuegent at the Brussels Diamond League Final.

The Puerto Rican hurdling queen powered to victory in a domineering fashion, crossing the finish line in 12.38s (0.4) to win her first Diamond League title.

Surprisingly, Dutch speedster Nadine Visser edged in-form Ackera Nugent to second in 12.54s, as the Jamaican youngster finished third in 12.55s.

Camacho-Quinn’s victory is a perfect end to a rollercoaster season that saw her disappointingly fail to defend her Olympic title in Paris, which was won by USA’s Masai Russel.

In addition, it ended the reign of Nigerian world record holder Amusan, who had won three consecutive Diamond League titles since 2021 but ended her 2024 season abruptly after failing to qualify for the Olympic final in Paris.
