Pamela JELIMO - Kenya - 2008 Olympic 800m Champion (result)
The main photo above shows Pamela Jelimo crossing the line to win gold in the womens 800m final at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Pamela's compatriot Janeth Jepkosgei (2267) won the silver medal but was some distance behind the impressive Jelimo, whose victory was no doubt all the more memorable as she became the first Kenyan woman to win an Olympic gold medal. The left hand picture shows the Kenyan teenager flying high shortly before the race!
