Spices of Life

Caster Semenya photos - Caster Semenya 's victory at 2009 World Championship in Athletics has piqued the interest of the public because of her questionable gender as you can see in the picture.


She won the gold for 800 and 1500 m heats with a time record of 1:56.72 and 4:08.01 respectively, and she set the record with the 800m as the fastest in 2009. However, the Association of Athletics Federations had asked strongly to verify her gender. As I can see in the picture, she looks like a male but she doesn't have that bulge in front though that indicates she is a female, don't you think? Caster Semenya is 18 years old and a native from Polokwane, Limpopo South Africa.

I remember my PE college instructor that has a similar situation with her, her gender was being questioned too when she joined the track and field race and won the gold. Oh well I guess, if she didn't win the race nobody would care about her gender anyway.

Just check out the video below and see for yourself.
