Michael Johnson had some true words about Semenya earlier today: "There is absolutely no possible solution that's fair to everyone in the case around her."

 

I'm happy she won a medal, if the stories are to be believed she is one of the nicest people in the world of athletics. 

 

Well, there is a solution that is fair to everyone but her, and there is a solution that is fair only to her.

Nevertheless South Africa emerges as a great power in middle distances (Semenya, Wayde van Niekerk)

Yep, and saying 'sorry, you can't compete' is rather unfair as well. Probably wouldn't even stand in court.

i wonderr whether Cuba has contributed in improvement of Venezuela athletics

Does anyone know whether Eid Naser still trains with the bulgarian coach that also coaches Femi Ogunode?

It's sad to see how her appearance changed, 2 or 3 years ago she looked completely different. I guess nowadays all sprinters have to have a tattoo.

Strange how Simpson always ends up with a medal, beating much stronger runners like Hassan or Muir.
