The womenรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs race also saw a tight finish, with American Ashley Twichell narrowly edging out Brit Keri-anne Payne by just two seconds. Shortly after watching Payne make a brisk start and claim the raceรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs first hotspot at the 400-metre mark, defending champion Twichell went to the front and refused to relinquish that position for the remainder of the race, despite Payneรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs constant presence.
