Bishop's winning 1:57.52 became the new Canadian National Record. In the final it was the same three players, Arzamasava holding the lead through the final turn, with Sum looking for a way to run around her. With Sum moving to the outside, Arzamasava drifted out, opening a gap on the inside which Bishop moved in to occupy. It was three abreast down the home stretch but Arzamasava never relinquished the lead, Bishop unable to get ahead on the inside and Sum just slightly behind them both.http://www.iaaf.org/news/report/beijing-2015-womens-800m-final REPORT: WOMEN'S 800M FINAL – IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, BEIJING 2015 29 August 2015 iaaf.org 2 September 2015 Records Prior to the
