The Olympic champion finished her two-lap season with a triumph at the women-only Athlos meet in New York on Friday evening. {The current Olympic champion, who secured third place at the World Championships last month, excelled in an impressive victory in 1:56.53 in what was just her sixth appearance in a season affected by a muscle issue. Fellow Briton and global silver winner Georgia Bell finished second again in 1:58.33, while the athlete from St Vincent Shafiqua M. (1:58.57) claimed third. "I've barely raced this year so it was probably less of a struggle for me to compete and want to give it something," said the 23-year-old. "The environment at the event is crazy so it was really, really fun." The women-only event packed the stadium in its second edition, introducing a party atmosphere to traditional track, with musical performances and Tiffany & Co. crowns replacing standard medals. The 23-times tennis major winner Serena W., who is married to Athlos founder Alexis Ohanian, was on hand to award the victors with their crowns. Previous champions took home sixty thousand dollars (£44,603) - among the biggest cash prizes in track and field. The event also attracted some of the sport's biggest names, as the Kenyan three-time Olympic gold medallist and global record breaker Faith Kipyegon triumphed in the mile race, crossing the finish line in 4:17.78. The US Brittany B., the 200m bronze winner from the recent Paris Games, secured the sprint double. Related Topics Track and Field More on This Story Bol switches to 800m and Hodgkinson 'can't wait'
