Debrunner’s triumph was her second in London, and she took the lead right away, closing the distance between herself and her opponents. She finished more over six minutes ahead of her fellow countrywoman Manuela Schar in second place.
Debrunner told Sport, “I’m really happy about the win, and the fact that we [her and men’s winner Hug] could do it together is even better.”
