However, she lost this event in semi final. She then decided to join 800m in haste (she had never joined 800m race at any official competition until that time). She passed by 2:26.2 in the preliminary and received silver medal in the final with a time of 2:17.6 in a dead heat with Lina Radke. She became the first Japanese woman who received an olympic medal.
