The 26 year-old put in a dominant performance to claim the top prize in the village of Racice.
She made a strong start to the 2000m race, and never looked like forfeiting her lead in a phenomenal display.
O’Brien clocked a time of 9:25.23 to finish a convincing 10 seconds ahead of second-place Australian Kathryn Ross with Anna Aisanova of Ukraine completed the top three.
Katie took up rowing eight years ago when she was 16 and has already achieved incredible heights, including a bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships and a gold at the world famous Henley regatta.
Her dream is to win an Paralympic medal in Paris in 2024.
I have massive aspirations. I’m getting a medal in Paris!
