However, Nanyondo fell and did not finish Heat 2 hence was not in a position to advance.

Fortunately, Italy’s Gaia Sabbatini who shoved Nanyondo to the ground has officially been disqualified after an appeal by Ugandan officials.

Controversy in the last 100m of the second women's 1500m semifinal.
