Well done Caster.

Was watching the 20km walk earlier. A South African, Shange, came fourth and set a new National Record. Looks like to have a bright future as he was like a good 100 metres or so behind with three laps to go. He then loops around all of them and takes the lead with two laps to go only to tire with just under a lap left. Can do much better tactically.

At the South African games,she won the 200,400,800 and 1500 on the same day.Shes married to another woman and you think there's no question marks about her sex..There was a female weightlifter who had the same genetic problem and she stood up to take a wee.

Whatever her situation is, she did not choose it, and it's up to the authorities to figure it out.
You and people like you, on the other hand, are choosing to be the way your'l are!

DTF, no one is contesting that she has issues. But ridiculing her is cruel to say the least. And what message does that send to others that are born this way.

A decade or so ago, the same treatment was dished out to gays. And before that, people of color. Discrimination of any kind is wrong.
