Nuria retained her title in 2012 after finishing 5th in the final !
No, that is not a joke, but the sport of athletics became one.
The event in Helsinki on 1st July 2012 was won by a Turkish athlete
with second place also going to a Turk. A Ukrainian came third and
a Russian finished fourth. Some while later all four were disqualified
for drug taking ! As was the Russian in 8th place.
Nuris ran a season best of 4:08.80 in the final.
Some people called the race "The dirtiest race in history"
