Transcript

00:00Maya Tanko was dominant in her heat leading up to this final.

00:05She has the fastest prelim time of 12.86.

00:09She is, in fact, the only runner in this field

00:12with a sub-13 second time.

00:15Once more, she occupies that middle lane, lane six,

00:20with the pink boots and the blue two-piece.

00:23Now, racing, Tanko got away cleanly just

00:26on her inside.

00:27Livingston, a really good start.

00:28Tanko has her work cut out for her.

00:30Now, she starts to set sail.

00:32Heads in front, Tanko by about three meters.

00:35It's brilliant here from Tanko.

00:36Ahead of them all, I think then Sue just

00:39gets in front of Livingston at the line.

00:42So the two Queensland girls were going hard for that silver.

00:45Gold was a foregone conclusion for Tanko, though.

00:50A great start from her.

00:51Sue got away rapidly, so too did Livingston.

00:54There's a bit of work to do there for Tanko.

00:57Some ground to make up, but she certainly did it

01:00and passed with flying colors.

01:04So gold for Maya Tanko.

01:12Here it is again on the replay, still

01:15with a few droplets coming down.

01:17Just see there, Livingston out of the blocks really quickly.

01:20Tanko had some work to do, but once she

01:23hit the midway passage in this 100-meter dash,

01:27it was all her.

01:29And this will be very tight coming into the line.

01:31I think Sue does enough to get in front of Livingston.

01:33Yes, she does, and quite easily in the end.

01:37So Anna Sue will claim silver.

01:40Tanko with the gold, of course.

01:43And Amber Livingston with the bronze.
