Her two closest rivals were only able to make a draw (Kateryna Lahno against Humpy Koneru) or lost the final game (Tatiana Kosintseva against Alisa Galliamova), so a draw against Antoaneta Stefanova was enough for women's world champion Hou Yifan to coast to victory with 8.0/11 and a 2692 performance. In second place Kateryna Lahno with 7.0/11. Final report.
