They had a clean start with Hart taking a slight lead coming off the first turn but Wolridge wasn't ready to give up the fight and stepped on the gas from lane 9 to challenge and had the lead going into the final turn hoping for the upset.

Flemmings knew what she wanted and kicked it into another gear with 50m to go and carried that kick to the end for a perfect 4 year gold medal sweep and a new meet record with a time of 54:48. Wolridge finished in second with a time of 55:44 and Hart rounded out the top three with a time of 56:30.
