Tatyana McFADDEN (USA) was in the lead after 100m of the T54 women's
800m and never faltered before winning in 1:47.01. On the last 50m she
commented: "I had to focus on myself. I needed to race like they are
next to me, because I'm not going to regret anything by slowing down
and have them catch me or me losing, so I needed to say, 'AlL right,
they are right there'. I have never had two gold medals at the Games."
