Pamela Jelimo took the world by storm as a junior running sub 1:55 more times in one season then any other women in T&F history. Snatched the Olympic title hopes from all her competitors and faded into the one season wonder category. Caster Semenya season while not as impressive as Pamela was no less dominant in securing the World Championship title.
The two have been trying to return to form but neither have approached their previous peaks. The good thing is both are still young so shouldn't be counted out. The sad thing is the two young women don't appear to be trying during their competitions this year. Pamela jogging a 2:09 in her last outing and Caster Semenya plodding along and barely breaking 4:20 for the 1500m.
Does it appear to anyone else that both of these young athletes appear to just be going thru the motions with no real effort?
