GOLD NIEWIEDZIAL Barbara POL - PolandSI SILVER MELOCH Arleta POL -<br />Poland BRONZE BIACSI Ilona HUN - Hungary Barbara NIEWIEDZIAL (POL)<br />fulfilled her role as pre-event favourite for the F20 women's 1500m, by<br />surging away from her rivals at the bell, after a tactical and slow<br />first 1100m, to win in 4:35.26. Arleta MELOCH (POL) kept relatively<br />close contact with her until the last 150m before NIEWIEDZIAL then<br />changed gear and shook her off, with MELOCH getting the silver medal in<br />4:39.04 Ilona BIACSI (HUN), whose sister Bernadett came fourth, said "I<br />was hoping for a brighter medal today but I'm fine with the result.<br />Before the last lap there was a change of speed. My sister and I could<br />not keep up. It was too late at the end to catch the leaders." For<br />further information, please visit http://www.paralympic.org.
