Nezha Bidouane (MAR) Gold
"I didn't expect it until the last 30m.
The victory of El Guerrouj pushed me a lot.
I give this feat to Moroccan athletics and our King!"
-Deon Hemmings (JAM) Silver
"I have done all I could.
It has ben her (Bidouane) day.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
We are all human and it is just one race."
-Kim Batten (USA) Bronze
"Bidouane did a big PR. I'm kind of shocked.
Never got into my rhythm. I'm really disappointed!"
