 Payne was in great form in Rome
|
Keri-Anne Payne gave Great Britain their second gold medal of the 2009 Fina World Championships after winning the women's 10km open water race.
The 21-year-old Olympic silver medallist went one better in Rome to finish in a time of two hours, one minute and 37.1 seconds.
Russia's Ekatarina Seliverstova came second with Italy's Martina Grimaldi taking third spot.
Diver Tom Daley won Britain's first gold in the 10m platform on Tuesday.

606: DEBATE
|
It was billed as a straight head-to-head between Payne and eight-time world champion Larisa Ilchenko who beat the Manchester-based athlete by just over a second in Beijing last summer.
However, the Russian, who lost her 5km crown to Australian Melissa Gorman on Tuesday, pulled out midway through the race.
That paved the way for Payne who proved too strong for the rest of the field.
The big battle was for the other two medal places with Seliverstova pipping Grimaldi to silver in a photo finish.
