IOC reassigns women's 800m medals from 2012 London Olympics

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on June 22 that the medals for the women’s 800m event at the 2012 London Olympics have been reallocated due to doping violations. Yekaterina Poistogova's disqualification has altered the official standings, resulting in Caster Semenya retaining gold, Pamela Jelimo receiving silver, and Alysia Montaño awarded bronze. Montaño, who originally finished fifth, moved up in the standings following multiple disqualifications in the event. The IOC's decision follows an appeal process that concluded in May 2025, emphasizing integrity in the sport. The doping scandal surrounding the Russian athletes impacted multiple results in the event.
