The European champion led from the front and found some extra
gas when her Kenyan rival attacked off the final bend to claim
the title in one minute 58.03 seconds.
Canada's Melissa Bishop stayed with the leading pair on the last
100 meters and got just in front of Sum at the line to claim
silver in 1.58.12.
Sum, who has dominated the event since winning the world title
in Moscow two years ago, took bronze in 1.58.18, well short of
the world leading time of 1.56.99 she ran in Paris in July.
