The national record holder, Denny Luke, worked very hard to qualify for the men's 800m semifinals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. His hopes were short-lived, however, as he failed to qualify despite breaking a new national record.
Luke came just short of his personal best in heat number four on Wednesday, clocking in at an incredible 1 minute 47.54 seconds. Sadly, it wasn't sufficient to guarantee one of the top three automatic qualifying berths. Luke was unfazed and entered the rematch on Thursday with the intention of winning.
Luke's Lightning Finish: New National Record and Personal Best
Luke got out to a fast start in the rematch and stayed in the pack for the opening 400 meters. Luke persevered and crossed the finish line in 1 minute 46.81 seconds, even though the leaders grabbed the lead in the closing moments. This amazing time was not only a new national record for Luke, but it was also a personal best.
Luke placed sixth overall, but his accomplishment speaks something about his commitment and tenacity. Hingura Kethobogile of Botswana won the race with a time of an amazing 1 minute 45.52 seconds.
