Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn won bronze.

Russell’s finish appeared to be similar to that of Lyles’ win in the 100-meter sprint earlier this week. Lyles narrowly defeated Jamaican Kishane Thompson by five thousandths of a second.

The field for the race was stacked as she defeated the defending Olympic champion in Camacho-Quinn and Jamaica’s Danielle Williams, who won the world championships last year in Budapest.
