Gibson took the race on, front-running to victory to eclipse the Scottish standard for next year's Games in Delhi by 0.38sec.
With the early evening temperature hovering at around 30 degrees, the Scottish champion motored through the first lap in 60.27s to win ahead of Ingvill Bovim of Norway (2:02.54)and Kenya's Nelly Jepkosgei (2:07.37).
Had her rivals pushed her harder, Gibson may have possibly achieved the qualifier for next month's World Championships in Berlin (2:00.00) - she'll now be aiming to do that at next weekend's Aviva World Trials and UK Championships in Birmingham where a star-studded field is expected to produce a very fast race.
