Nakaayi took the World Cup gold at 800 meters

The two runners were side by side with less than a hundred yards to the finish line, but before the race was over Wilson collapsed and was also skipped by compatriot Raevyn Rogers who took home the silver after coming off as a rushing storm at the end.

Nakaayi's victory time was written to 1.58.04, a new national record - but far from the world's best listing in the distance.

It still has Caster Semenya, which this year has jumped at 1.54.98, which is more than three seconds faster than Nakaayi.

However, the 2017 South African World Cup champion is banned by the International Athletics Association IAAF to compete in the World Cup because she has refused to medicate her naturally high testosterone values.

That was also the case for the world's third fastest 800 meters this year, Francine Niyonsaba from Burundi.
