More intriguing was that she won the race from a poor start and recovered timely to outrun her peers, giving the vibes that she may be in her WR shape two years ago.
"We have work to do and looking at the way I executed today, it could be better but I'm just thankful," said Amusan in a post-race interview with sportsmaxtv.
When asked if her victory was a redemption from the disappointment of being disqualified for a false start in her last race at the Suzhou Diamond League, the former world champion said it was just another lesson learned.
