Uganda's middle-distance runner Halima Nakaayi says that all her focus is now on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games after winning a silver in the women’s 800m final at the 13th All-Africa Games in Accra, Ghana.
Nakaayi finished second with a time of 1:58:59 behind Ethopia’s Tsige Geniecu Duguma who won gold with a time of 1:57:73; while Kenya’s Vivian Kiprotich Chebet finished third, winning a bronze medal.
