Peter Bol will be the first Australian to contest the Olympic men’s 800m metres track final since 1968 in Tokyo on Wednesday night.
Bol, who was born in Sudan before moving to refugee camp in Egypt, arrived in Australia when he was 10 years old, and initially showed promise as a basketball player.
Bol won his semifinal earlier in the meet, prompting Channel 7 commentator Bruce McAveny to declare him second favourite for a gold medal, while bookmakers have him rated fourth.
