Very impressive start by Jelimo and Magiso.

I really want to see that match up w/Jelimo/Semenya/the russian woman who is world champion...I think the WR could really be threatened if all were to run the race and not run tactical....

Fantu Magiso was promising last year. Brit moment - very pleased with Emma Jackson knocking half a second off her PB, Olympic A and coming 5th. Don't sleep on Santiusti.

I predict Magiso will be the next big thing in W800m. Ran 23.90 W 0.1, 52.09 and 1:59.17 as a jumior last year. Managed properly she will be a MONSTER

I also look forward to see what she does when she gains a bit more racing experience. She really attacked the third 200m rather like Jelimo did at her peak but she probably went too hard too early. She probably could have gone low sub-1:57 if she conserved her effort a bit more.

Magiso still 19, doesn't turn 20 until June.

That's SA vi no va. ????????

She will lay off the pace of Jelimo, Jepkosgei and Semenya. Whether she can catch Jelimo remains to be seen. Can't wait!

Magiso looked great. She's also physically impressive compared to the other women in the event; tall and relatively powerful, she has a great turn of speed. Definitely one to watch out for later in the year and a definite medal contender.

This new woman on the block is another reason for looking forward to the OG womens 800metres( as opposed to those other events )

Re: Doha DL—w800: Pamela JELIMO 1:56.94!!! MR!! WL!!

If all these athletes -- Jelimo, Jepkoskei, Semenya, Savinova, Magiso -- are in top form, the OG final could be amazing. The semis could be a great set of races in and of themselves.

Re: Doha DL—w800: Pamela JELIMO 1:56.94!!! MR!! WL!!

I'm already horrified by the thought of the 3 semis. It's going to be a bloodbath.
