Proudly Nigerian, Nigeria Tobi Amusan Breaks The World Record

Tobi Amusan the World 10m hurdles record holder, in the early hours of Monday (Sunday in Oregon), won the women’s 100m hurdles gold at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

"Honestly, I believe in my abilities but I was not expecting a world record at these championships,” Amusan said after her final victory. “The goal is always just to execute well and get the win. So the world record is a bonus. I knew I had it in me but I could not believe it when I saw it on the screen after the semis."

“Before the final, I just tried to stay calm and to do my best. I took a deep breath knowing that I have some goal to accomplish and it worked pretty good. I knew it was very fast but not this fast.”

Ye's collaboration with Gap features plain black hoodies and T-shirts, the Los Angeles Times noted that Yeezy Gap items range from a $40 keychain to a $340 parka. Before its launch last year, it had been marketed as an affordable clothing line. Shoppers have shared pictures on social media of clothes from the Yeezy Gap line being sold out of big black bags rather than displayed on hangers.
