Beijing 800m Olympic Games Pamela Jelimo is officially the 2012 Games 800m bronze medallist after the International Olympics Committee reconstituted results from London, disqualifying Russian Mariya Savinova, who placed first over doping violations.

The bronze now increases Kenyans medal haul from the London Games to 12 medals.
Savinov has been stripped of her 800m London 2012 Olympic Games gold medal after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in 2017 imposed a four-year ban saying there was "clear evidence" she used performance-enhancing drugs.
