Gold medallistEbony Collins (USA) 55.96
"I really pleased myself during the race. I expected to run just below 56 seconds. I made sure I had a clear vue. As I run the 100m, I figured that I would have more speed than the others. I was hoping to have someone next to me who would be able to push me in the last 250m. I really had to push myself in the end".
Silver medallist - Lauren Boden (AUS) 58.30
"I'm really glad in finishing second, I just ran my race. It was difficult because it's extremely hot here!"
