World Champs - Women

Many people questioned whether Snowsill was in good enough shape to win a third world championships title but she proved all doubters wrong on this sunny afternoon. It was Snowsill all the way as she even had time to thank some of the 60,000 spectators that lined the course and finish line as she cruised through the finish tape.

"I ran like I had nothing to lose. I just had to go out and leave nothing behind,” stated Snowsill on her history-making performance.
