Moraa explained,

“I was very happy with a season’s best of 1:57. I had some tiredness in my legs from the national championships and the grand slam, so I did not know what to expect.

I could hear the crowd in the last 100 metres, so I sensed someone was coming up behind me. I was running as fast as I could, so I was unable to hold onto first place, but that is how competition goes.”
