The 19-year-old paced herself to perfection to triumph in a time of 4min 58.939sec.

Victory secured her first World Championship medal in the event and second gold in the discipline overall, having previously won at the World Cup in the 2014-2015 season.

The win ensured Shim, the silver medallist in yesterday's 1,500m event, her second World Championship title over the distance in Montreal.

She was also victorious in the Canadian city in 2014.

Russia's Sofia Prosvirnova continued her strong showing with a second-place finish in 1:29.352.

Li finished third in 1:29.580, while Choi could only manage fourth place.
