Let's hope not  

 

let's say that this kind of progression is at least "suspicious"...

 

time will tell (however, if she does change her Nationality to a European Country -apart from ITA, of course- or the US/AUS, I hope she get caught soon )...

Caught for what? It is obvious that she is a more masculine version of Semenya, but IAAF thought that it is ok for someone like her to run the 400 m while Semenya shouldn't be allowed to run the 800 m.

[Dunadan 1,103]

^That's nonsense, the IAAF regulations for athletes with DSD are valid for 400m as well and are still in force except for Semenya as far as I know. If Seyni really is "a more masculine version of Semenya" and had never been tested before her breakthrough of this year, she will be gone soon.

False start in the men's 400m, but the three outer lanes didn't hear the second gun and kept running for 150 meters or so...except for Jonathan Jones of Barbados, who didn't stop at all and finished, only then to notice something was off

Wow Nijel Amos

 

1:41.89, which is the 15th fastest time ever and the world's fastest time since Rudisha ran the WR in the London Olympic final  (where Amos ran 1:41.73)

Sifan Hassan broke Svetlana Masterkova's 23 year old world record on the mile

[heywoodu 15,145]

Lisek jumps over 6,02m and goes to 10th all-time

[heywoodu 15,145]

Lisek already had two pretty close attempts at 6,06m, only Bubka ever jumped either that or higher outdoors.

[heywoodu 15,145]

Nijel Amos pulled up injured very early on in the 800m, that looked worrying
