                          Did see during race that it looked like he got knocked/ barged and struggled to stay in.

                              Yeah very clearly traded elbows with the other American, the one with the headband, where Willis had a bit of a stumble looked to very nearly go down.

                                  Hmmmm... the controversy continues with Semenya winning gold in the Womens 800m.<br>
                                  Can't help but think that, certainly through no fault of her own, she does have a pretty significant advantage over the others in the field.<br>
