Amusan, this year already, has won gold at the World Athletics Championship in Oregon, and repeated the victorious feat at the 2022 Commonwealth games in the United Kingdom.
She won in a time of 12.45 seconds outpacing American two-time world junior champion, Tia Jones who came in second with a time of 12.58 while Megan Tapper won bronze with a time of 12.66 seconds.
Reacting to her victory, Amusan said she still has room for improvement.
“It has been a long season, but I am still alive. I just wanted to finish strong today. I was here to execute.
“I need to work on what I need to work on, but it is alright. There is always room for improvement. I need to improve my start and my finish.
“I will race again in Zurich. Today, we had a great competitive field. My goal was to focus on myself.”
The Internationales Stadionfest (ISTAF) is an annual track and field meeting held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, the world’s oldest invitational one-day meeting.
It was first organised on July 3, 1921, at the Deutsches Stadion, which was replaced after the 1936 Summer Olympics by the current stadium in 1937.
Since 2010 it has been part of the IAAF World Challenge meetings, the second tier of global one-day athletics events.
