Vijayalakshmi, at six points apiece after the final round, won the medal on her better tie-break score in her group, according to information received here on Monday. Wenjun won the bronze, while Vijayalakshmi was fourth. China's Wang Yu, just half point ahead at 6.5 from nine rounds, won the gold medal after she salvaged a draw with Vijayalakshmi.
