The new Kenyan 800m sensation, Pamela Jelimo ran 1:55.76 at the Hengelo meeting Sunday in the Netherlands.

This is the fastest time over the distance for some years

The Women’s 800m in Beijing Olympics will be a keenly contested final between Kenya and Russia

Incredibly this was the first time I had seen the amazing women’s sprint finish of Boston Marathon 2008

It is simply put a superb display of guts, determination and desire from both women.

Sadly only one could win.
