The inset photo above shows Natalyia Tobias (3069) crossing the line
to win bronze in the women's 1500m final at the 2008 Olympic Games in
Beijing. Lishchynska's fellow Ukrainian Iryna Lishchynska, arms aloft in
celebration, won the silver, with the gold going to Kenya's Nancy Jebet
Langat (out of shot). The main picture shows Tobias in full flow during
the 1500m heats.
Nataliya's time was her personal best.
