By Callum Ng, CBC SportsShe withstood the pushing, she beat half the field, but in the 800 metres on Saturday night, Canada's Melissa Bishop could not fight off Kenya's Margaret Wambui in the final straight for the bronze medal. Wambui charged pass Bishop in the final straight to finish with a time of 1:56.89, only 13-100ths of a second ahead of the Canadian. Entering the race Bishop had run the third-fastest 800 of the year, behind Caster then Niyonsaba. As the corner unfurled, Semenya had skipped past Niyonsaba and Bishop emerged in third place, clinging to the bronze medal position. In the final straight the Canadian's form wavered little, but the Kenyan would haul herself ahead of Bishop only 20 metres from the line with a gritty effort.
