She ran 1:08 where her nearest competitors ran 1:05-1:06. So in winning her heat and having the best overall time, she was still able to coast on in.

If it goes anything like the men's race last night

It could be complete chaos. The key to stopping that is not going out as slow as the men did (they went out at 15:20 pace after the first 1k).
