The duo failed to escape each other on the finishing end for fourth position and settled on the wall as fourth position holders by reporting an identical time of 25.01 seconds.

Following that, Harley dominated the Women’s 200m discipline. She continued her smothering efforts in the playoff and stepped on the medal rostrum for gold medal by clocking a time of 2 minutes and 02.37 seconds.

The gold medallist was trailed by Sherry Liu, who stayed 0.24 seconds behind and reached the finishing wall for second position by posting a time of 2 minutes and 02.61 seconds.

The silver medallist was chased by Sarah-Lee Hevey, who was 0.06 seconds behind and occupied bronze medal of the discipline by producing a time of 2 minutes and 02.67 seconds for bronze medal.
