The sprinter sped to 22.60 seconds, bettering the time set by American Candace Hill, whose 22.76 was set last month in Atlanta.

Campbell-Brown got the better of Barbadian Crystal Emmanuel, who crossed the tape in 22.86 seconds, ahead of the United States’ Destiny Carter (22.92).

Campbell-Brown had indicated at the start of this season that she wanted to make the team to the World Championships in London this Summer.
