Nigeria competed at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, United States, from 15 to 24 July 2022. The Athletics Federation of Nigeria entered 24 athletes.[1]
On 24 July 2022, Nigeria achieved its first world gold medal at the World Athletics Championships after Tobi Amusan won the women's 100 metres hurdles final.[2] Amusan set a new world record when she ran a 12.12 time in her semi-final heat before she bettered that in the final when she crossed the line in a time of 12.06, however, her time in the final was not considered as the new world record due to the wind reading (+2.5 MPS) was over the allowable.[3][4]
With 1 gold and 1 silver medals, Nigeria ended 13rd in the medal table and ranked 20th in the overall placing table with a total of 23 points.
