ummm getting back to Semenya and some issues.

A co-worker who was a very good mid-distance runner in his youth said the following:

For a teenager to run a sub 2 minute 800m is really really good.

for some one to improve over 5 seconds in a span of a year is doable if you didn't have a proper coaching until a year ago. Once you get on a "real" training program where everything is minutely controlled, its not unconceivable to show that kind of improvement in a year. Something Semenya did. It also sounds like she didn't have proper training prior to last year when she burst onto the scene

Didn't watch the race but if she didn't completely blow apart the field, then it doesn't sound like a foul play. If she was ahead of the pack by two seconds but the pack was spread more than two seconds, then there really is no problem. Whereas if she was two seconds ahead and the pack was tight meaning not separated by more than a second or so then it may point to some sort of problem.

If she didn't break the world record at 18, it doesn't look like any foul play.
The last part bugs me... So if you are questionable its okay as long as you didn't break the record?? How can you justify such comment?

Anyway, it sounds like she is just one of those anomalies good or bad and she is going to be shattering world records in years to come. I wish her well. To her competitors, stop being a sour puss. Life is never fair.

Life is full of in-equity so get over it
