The Nigerian clinched the final with a time of 12.06s (+2.5m/s) which would have been her second World Record of the day but for the excess wind.
Amusan was followed by Jamaican Britany Anderson with 12.23s, while Olympic Champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn settled for finished third with the same time.
Reacting, Amusan said, ” I couldn’t be more thankful, I have come out here with a win and the World Record.”
