She defeated Dutch athlete Visser Nadine who ran a National Record and PB of 12.51secs to emerge second.
Tapper Megan of Jamaica came third in 12.55secs.
On Sunday, Amusan had continued her fine post-Olympics form by winning the women’s 100m hurdles at the Kamila Skolimowska meet in Chorzów, Poland.
The 2018 Commonwealth Games gold medallist powered to victory at the Stadion Śląski in 12.64s (0.1), well ahead of Olympic Bronze medallist Megan Tapper who ran 12.75s and USA’s Christina Clemons, third in 12.92s.
