Cathy's last 200m split was supposedly fast - roughly 25.0 after a 24.0
first 200. Pretty sure she hasn't raced a comp 800m yet.
Freeman's 'next best' event potentially could be the 400H (hello Irina!) -
Cathy ran 14.0 for 100m Hurdles as a 15yo over a decade ago.

Watching Freeman last week in the 400, I was wondering what she might be
capable of in an 800. Has she ever run one? Did anyone get 50m or 100m
splits on her gold medal run? The time wasn't spectacular, but she sure
did motor down the home stretch. I can't help but think she'd be much
more competitive at 800 than at 200 (not to take anything away from a 200m
finalist who has beaten very good runners at the distance), possibly even
a threat to Mutola's throne. Mutola is known for her kick, but is much
slower than Freeman in terms of foot speed and looks less like an
endurance athlete. Of course, that brings us back to the 200 being more
"fun" than the 800, so why bother...
