Jasmine Camacho-Quinn took the silver medal as she finished just one second behind the winner for an incredible finish line while Britain’s Keni Harrison ran a time of 12.46 seconds to emerge the third-placed hurdler on the podium place.

Amusan who was provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit before that decision was rescinded started off the blocks on a noticeably slow note.

The attention for Amusan will now shift to the the 2024 Olympics games in Paris.
