Bishop, the 28-year-old from Eganville, Ont., won silver at the 2015 world track and field championships in Beijing. RelatedThe complexion of the 800-metre women’s race has completely changed since Bishop won that silver last August in Beijing. Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi won silver in 1:56.49. “I think everyone here at the Olympic Games is going for the podium,” Bishop said earlier this week. I’m certainly going to aim to be the best athlete and the best version of myself I can be on that day.
