The bell rings at the Accra Sports Stadium, and Perina Lokure Nakang does what she has always done when life demands something of her: she runs. It is Day Two of the African Senior Athletics Championships. Heat 2 of the women's 800 metres. She starts well. Strong. By the end of those 800 metres, she has not made the cut. The qualification places go elsewhere. She finishes, catches her breath, and stands tall.
