The Nigerian sprint superstar finished 10.98 seconds behind Dutch’s Dafne Schippers, who came first with a new national record of 10.92 seconds.
Ivory Coast’s Muriel Ahoure finished third in 11.01 behind Okagbare, who had a slow start but she powered through in the last 20 metres to run Schippers close.
The Nigerian queen of the tracks is now top of the 100m Diamond Race with eight points along with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
