Defending champion Tobi Amusan did not retain her World Athletics Championship title after finishing sixth in the 100m Hurdles final in Budapest.
Amusan, who made it to the Championship after a controversy around a drug test ended in her favour, fell short in the title defence as she finished in 12.62 seconds.
Jamaica’s Danielle Williams emerged as the new world women’s 100m hurdles champion with a season’s best 12.43 seconds.
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn won silver in 12.44 seconds while Keni Harrison clinched bronze in 12.46 seconds.
Amusan scaled through the Heat before qualifying for the final after a good run in the semifinals.
The ongoing championship will end on August 27 but Team Nigeria is yet to bag any medal so far.
