Predictable, yet impressive, Semenya wins Olympic 800 gold (Yahoo Sports)
Caster Semenya won the Olympic title in the 800 meters Saturday with no one close to challenging her, a result that will only stoke the complex debate over whether women with much higher levels of testosterone than normal should be allowed to compete unchecked. ”We’re not here to talk about IAAF, we’re not here to talk about some speculations,” Semenya said. As is her style, Semenya sat back behind leader Niyonsaba until the final 150 meters, then unleashed a powerful burst from out of the curve to pull away down the straightaway, leaving her competitors trailing and fighting for silver.
