Yeah, the about 8-second difference on the last lap is the difference of a man over a woman.
Castor is also not a biological man either. She obviously is expecting a negative decision from the IAAF and is looking to move up to a distance that doesn't have the testosterone limits. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's an unfortunate situation and it looks like she is trying to play by the rules. It's not clownish in the least.

Okay, 15:36 for 5,000m on the track would be a relatively good male high school performance. But how many boys hitting that mark also could run 49.6 and 1:54.2? I ran a fair bit faster than that for 5.000m in high school and could only just break 2:00; no clue what my 400m would have been but my guess is ~53-54 at best. She has incredible range.
You wouldn't happen to be from Connecticut, would you Er?

Interestingly, the SA press is referring to her race as "taunting" the IAAF by running so impressively outside the range of events for which they propose testosterone suppression treatment.
Scott had a game plan assuming Semenya was going to sit and kick, and was put slightly off her game by the fact that Semenya took the lead and pushed the pace as early as lap 4. Scott took the lead briefly at the bell and then was buried.

Look up MN high school XC & MN high school 800m results from fall, 1980 to spring, 1982. You'll see a few guys, sub-14:55 three mile XC &/or sub-15:40 5K XC; same guys sub-1:55 800m.
Bullshit. A woman didn't beat Dom.
