The Olympic champion finished her two-lap season with a triumph at the women-only Athlos event in NYC on Friday night. {The current Olympic gold medallist, who earned bronze at the World Championships recently, excelled in an impressive victory in one minute 56.53 seconds in what was only her sixth race in a season affected by a hamstring injury. Fellow Briton and world silver medallist Georgia Bell took the runner-up spot again in one minute 58.33 seconds, while the athlete from St Vincent Shafiqua Maloney (1:58.57) secured third place. "I haven't competed much this year so it was probably easier for me to go out there and want to give it something," stated Hodgkinson. "The environment at the event is incredible so it was extremely enjoyable." The women-only event packed Icahn Stadium in its second year, bringing a party atmosphere to conventional athletics, with musical performances and Tiffany & Co. crowns replacing traditional winners' medals. The tennis legend with 23 major titles Serena W., who is married to Athlos founder Alexis O., was on hand to present the winners with their tiaras. Previous champions received sixty thousand dollars (forty-four thousand six hundred and three pounds) - one of the largest prize purses in track and field. The event also drew some of the sport's biggest names, as the Kenyan triple Olympic champion and global record breaker Faith K. triumphed in the mile race, crossing the finish line in four hours 17.78 minutes. American Brittany B., the 200m bronze medallist from last year's Paris Olympics, secured the 100m and 200m double.
