After Amusan overtook her in a tight battle to the finish line, American Kendra Harrison finished in a close second place.

Nia Ali, the recently minted US champion, placed third in 12.38 seconds, while Megan Tapper, the Jamaican champion, finished fourth, ahead of Danielle Williams, a fellow countrywoman, in fifth.

The legendary sprinter from Nigeria ran the quickest time of the year, matching the personal record of Jasmine Camacho-Quinn.
