“Big up Coach!” 🙌

🥈 Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan credits legendary Jamaican coach Glenn Mills, famed for guiding icons like Usain Bolt and Oblique Seville, after storming to silver in the women’s 100m hurdles at #Tokyo2025.

Amusan, advised by her longtime former coach Lacena Golding-Clarke, revealed it was a tough but rewarding decision to join Mills’ camp:
“Training is different… it’s been rough, but I trusted the reason I went there, and it all paid off. This medal is for them.”

💚💛 Proud Jamaican ties to global greatness!
