After a highly tactical race, in the bay of Doha's Old Harbour, the 30-year-old Dutch swimmer, Olympic champion in 2016, won in 1 hour 57 minutes and 26 seconds.

Van Rouwendaal, who won the title in Budapest two years ago, edged Spain's Maria de Valdes by one tenth of a second.

Portugal's Angelica Andre took bronze 1.40sec back.

Reigning Olympic champion Ana Marcela Cunha of Brazil was fifth, four seconds behind the winner.

The top 13 finishers locked up qualifying spots at this summer's Paris Olympic Games.
