ATHLETICS Mary Moraa explains why she had to win the 800m at the World Championships
Reigning World champion Mary Moraa has come out to explain why she had no option but to win the 800m race at the World Championships.
The record was set by Ethiopia’s Guye Adola during the 2014 edition of the event and stands at 59:06.
In the women’s race, the athletes will also pocket the same amount but there will be no additional amount since the course record was not broken.
Ethiopia’s Almaz Ayana won the race in a time of 1:07:59, missing out on the course record time of 1:06:00 that was set by her compatriot, Tsehay Gemechu during the 2019 edition of the race.
