Last week in Finland, the much-discussed South African runner, kicked away from the field to win her first race after a year of absence from women's competition. On Thursday, she won the 800-meter at the Lappeenranta Games. But her time raised a big question. It was 2 minutes 44.2 seconds -- way off off the astounding 1:55.45 that grabbed her the world-championship gold at Berlin 11 months ago.
