Semenya and the rest have been controversial enough and coming the day after the weightlifting it could lol get very toxic and bitter., We will be hearing a lot more about it if no Americans make the final.

It be interesting how the USA media handle it - there a lot of supporters of Semenya in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two of ES's regular English athletics commentators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, so they are purposefully trying to give the impression they don't really know what's going on. Right, might even be worse. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, time for conspiracy theories - with their parent company having just shelled out bazillions for exclusive rights they're not going to want their employees indulging in wild, unfounded speculation, are they?

But it's not wild, unfounded speculation to at the very least get excited about one of the most insane times ever run (combined with the way she ran it, braking hard). If anything, staying so calm as if it was a morning heat where she won in 22.60 is what makes them sound suspicious, like they were actively trying to ignore it.
