This injury affected her confidence leading up to the race. Despite her struggles, Amusan finished third with a time of 12.60 seconds, while Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas and Jamaica’s Megan Simmonds won gold and silver, respectively. Her performance denied her the chance to win a third consecutive Commonwealth title after golds in 2018 and 2022.

Prior to the final, Amusan had shown promise by winning her heat in a wind-assisted time of 12.19 seconds, marking it as the fastest ever recorded at the Games under any conditions, although it did not qualify for record purposes. Post-race, she expressed gratitude for managing to compete despite the injury and stated she did not want to use it as an excuse for her bronze medal finish. Amusan reflected on her approach to the race, suggesting she might have adjusted her warm-up routine had she anticipated the knee pain.

She attributed her consistent podium finishes over the years to her hard work, dedication, and discipline in the sport, stating that her goals are what drive her daily. She emphasized that while she does not focus heavily on times, she aims to execute well in her races. Additionally, she explained her choice to wear gloves before the final, citing the cold Glasgow weather as a reason for needing to keep warm.

When asked about the emergence of younger Nigerian athletes, Amusan responded positively, viewing their presence as a source of pride rather than pressure. She expressed appreciation for the new talents that are starting to gain recognition alongside her in the global arena, emphasizing that it is an exciting time for Nigerian athletics.
