London - As South Africa’s golden girl Caster Semenya gears up to reclaim the women’s 800m title tonight, Athletics SA will look back to this year’s championships as the most successful in recent years. The IAAF World Championships has seen Mzansi reach a haul of five medals, the highest in history, and that list could grow tonight should Semenya power herself to gold.
Only the brave few will bet against the Limpopo-born star as she has been in fantastic form since the beginning of the year.
She won her semifinal heat – round one – clocking in 1:58:90, and she will face familiar foes in Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi and Margaret Wambui of Kenya, whom she has not lost against this year.
