The 21-year-old, who has been in excellent shape, also won Kenya's Olympic pre-trials a fortnight ago at the Nyayo Stadium, when she set a personal best of 2:01.12. Moraa joins former global champion Eunice Sum, Olympic 1,500m champion Faith Kipyegon, and Emily Tuei as the fourth Kenyan to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in the 800m.
