Kaki, at 1.44,82, ran the sixth-fastest - fifth-best outdoors - time of his career.

Fairly shocking, I'd say. :?
After last year I was beginning to think she may never lose again. Oops!

I can imagine she wears the pants in the family as far as the economics are concerned, but she has gotten married. That carries other mental responsibilities and changes the complexion of her priorities a bit; this season is like non other for her: she enters an established 800m runner; the Olympic champion; previously undefeated; super, super rich (for her country); and a married woman.

Jelimo's manager asked for a 55sec first lap to the pacemaker. Then in the call room, Jelimo herself told her "no 59sec!". Weird.[/code]

From the IAAF report:

http://www.iaaf.org/WAF09/news/kind=100 ... 50682.html

The big disappointment of the meeting was the below par performance of Kenya’s Olympic 800m champion Pamela Jelimo, who finished only sixth in 2:02.46. The $1 Million AF Golden League Jackpot winner was well beaten by Briton Jenny Meadows (2:01:78).

“I tried to do my best, but stress prevented from me delivering a good race and resisting the competition from the other athletes", said Jelimo who promised to come back next year and run well in Rabat.

We can only imagine what occurs to a Kenyan woman who gains sudden wealth and a new husband! We have seen numerous Kenyans felled by success. Hope she rebounds, she's young enough.
