Russell clocks second fastest 100m hurdles in history at Miami meeting
Olympic champion Masai Russell scorched to victory with the second fastest 100m hurdles time in history at the Grand Slam Track meeting in Miami on Saturday, clocking a world leading 12.17sec.
The 24-year-old American star finished just ahead of compatriot Tia Jones, who was second 12.19sec -- the third fastest time in history.
Russell and Jones, who benefited from a strong following wind which was just on the legal threshold of +2.0 m/s, only narrowly missed out on Tobi Amusan's world record of 12.12sec set at the World Championships in Eugene in 2022.
"I dont even know what to say, these girls bring the best out of me every time," Russell said after her victory at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar.
Russell's time was also a new American record, and also a significant improvement on her previous season best of 12.62sec set in Gainesville, Florida last month.
Ackera Nugent was third in 12.34sec with former world record holder Keni Harrison fourth in 12.40sec.
