Grand Prix winner Ju Wenjun
Ju Wenjun's victory was smooth and convincing. After winning in round 10 against Bela Kotenashvili she was certain to become at least shared first and needed only a draw in the final round to become sole tournament winner.

By winning the tournament in Khanty-Mansiysk Ju Wenjun also won the Grand Prix series 2015/2016. The winner of the Grand Prix qualifies for a ten-game World Championship match against the Women's World Champin. In contrast to the open World Championship in which two players player every two years for the title, the women play every year for the title. One year there is a match for the title, the next year, the Women's World Champion is established in a knock-out tournament. But as the Fide found no organiser for the knock-out Women's World Championship in 2016, the new Women's World Champion will be crowned in 2017.
Ju Wenjun will then challenge this new Women's World Champion.
The winner...
... shed tears of joy
