Caster Semenya: Olympic 800m champion can compete after Swiss court ruling

I would like to reserve a post saying "IAAF wins new court case, Semenya forced to take medication again" and also a post following that a bit later, saying "Semenya hits back in *insert another court* and is cleared to run again".

2:00.58 for the young Gajanová in W 800m, very nice and unexpected.

The standard is 1 second faster, I am afraid this may be too much for her, but ok, she is still very young, and has showed there a potential for improvement. maybe Paris 2024 ?

 

It would be nice to have a successor of Lucia Klocová  one day

She was worth 2.05+ before last year, the gap seems legit

She is young and talented, definitely one of our most promising athletes right now. her previous pb from last year was 2:01.90.

 

Fun fact is that right now she is leading the European tables with this time this year ! 10th fastest time in the world this year for now.

 

Maybe there a chance for a medal at the U23 Europeans this year in Sweden
