Raevyn Rogers chose the wide route down the finish straight in the
women's 800m final and thus, unobstructed, she won
the silver medal in a season best time. She had won both her heat
(2:02.01) and her semi-final (1:59.57) and perhaps preferred the
'safe' way home. With a P.B. of 1:57.69 she knew winning was possible.
Alas, Halimah Nakaayi rose to the occasion, setting a Uganda National
Record and just won.
