[edit] In/At

I changed the preposition used for the race distances, according to the following standard practice:

"She won the gold medal at 800m last year." "In the 800m at the World Championships she won gold."

"in" applies to a specific event, shorthand for "in the 800m race". "at" applies to the distance as a whole, shorthand for "at the distance of 800m".
