"I don't go to competitions worried about times, I just try to focus on myself and my hurdles, execution, and whatever you see on the clock is what my 100% is," she said.

Amusan, the defending Diamond League champion, will be gunning for her first win in the circuit. She lost to Jasmine Camacho-Quinn in Lausanne, tieing her Season's Best (SB) time of 12.47s while the Olympic champion won in 12.40s.

This time, the world champion is the favourite for victory but will have stiff competition in Alaysha Johnson, who has been in impressive form this year.

Amusan will target going faster than her SB and a vital win, which will be a confidence boost, as she continues her preparations for a successful defense of her Diamond League and world titles.
