Would have been a great battle between Semenya and that American I think. Semenya's winning time in Rio 2016 was 1m55.28. The winning time today was 1m55.21

800m is a tactical race, so you can't compare times accurately.

Doesn't really matter as the Rio podium are now all blackballed and out of it. Which just means we're seeing DSD athletes emerging in the 200m.

with only 3 medals you would think the budget was ok for this...clearly not!

wonder how much it cost to fly the horsey's out?
