Globacom has commended the resilience and enterprise of athletics sensation, Tobi Amusan, who last Sunday won another Diamond League championship in 100 metres hurdles.

Amusan, a Glo brand ambassador, won the race in12.33 seconds in Oregon, United States, her third consecutive victory in the competition.

Globacom said in a statement that Amusan’s victory had shown that she was a talented professional who still had a lot to offer the world of athletics.

“With the third Diamond League trophy in her kitty, Amusan remains a true African ambassador at the world stage and an inspiration to millions of youths who look up to her as a role model”, the digital solutions company said in the statement.

It described Amusan as the quintessence of the Nigerian spirit of resilience and enterprise which Globacom symbolises, and urged her to continue to work hard, win more laurels and leave a mark that will be difficult to forget in world athletics.
