Wonderful to see Callum Hawkins back and with a new PB :)

 

Good run by the Australian. Shame I couldn't understand her strong Melbourne accent...;)

Ahh, of course. I thought you were talking about Callum Hawkins being a Melbourne woman :d

 

From the depths of hell Mayo, to the depths of Melbourne. She's an inspiration though :)

I really hope they made the right decision here. This has huge implications obviously. If Semenya loses, I say she takes them to international court, since we’ve already established thanks to Germans that legal jurisdiction is tricky.

I don't there can be a "right" decision here. If Semenya loses the case then, despite having nothing wrong, she probably will not be the best in the world ever again.

If she wins we don't know what happens next. It could even lead, in the most extreme case, to the end of women only sports.events.
