Caster Semenya is delusional: "I can do anything from 100m to a marathon..I call myself 'supernatural'."

From an Olympics perspective, she's no longer relevant so I don't care what she has to say. If she's fast enough for the 100 and strong enough for the marathon, she is eligible to go for a double gold.

She does have quite impressive range.

100m to marathon isn't that big a deal though if you suck at both. Heck, I've run both of those multiple times, and was above average at each!

Last year December after a flight to Johannesburg, I was waiting at baggage claim, and Caster and a plus one were standing right next to me also waiting. The two spoke so much bull, being obnoxious, so my conclusion was that they talk faster than their brains work.

selfies to prove it?

She/he has a pair of testicles producing testosterone inside their body during puberty...

he/she has a vagina and internal testicles I thought? So like no ovaries

I would find it fascinating to watch her run a marathon. I'm not a CS-hater, but I'm calling her out on that claim...

Not everything we say is literal. For instance, one day you may tell your child "you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it." The core message is positive, but taken literally it's absolutely bs. Same when someone says they can do anything they want.

It's true, she can do whatever event she wants *barring sanctioned events at 400-Mile of course* just as she said. She did not say she could run whatever time she wanted to in whatever event. She could merely do the event. That's all she said isn't it?

I'm not real keen on her competing with women, but I think you're emotions are making you overreact to what she actually said.

I think she effectively proves the opposite here.

If no woman in history has ever been able to be competitive at international level from 100m up to a marathon, and no man in history has ever been able to be competitive at international level from 100m up to a marathon, but a reasonable number of men are able to run times that would be internationally competitive for women over 100m up to marathon and the athlete concerned has intersex characteristics which raise the question of which competition pool she should compete in... I think the answer is then obvious from a sports performance perspective?

Which I get is irrelevant to an extent as that's certainly not her argument as to why she should be allowed to compete in the competition pool of her choosing but seems a fairly clear indication.

There's no way she (whether you consider her a woman or man) could train to run a marathon in a time that would be internationally competitive for a woman. I would wager she couldn't do it for any distance over 1500 m, and almost surely not even that.

Of course, I could be wrong...

I can also do anything from 100m to a marathon.

I am supernatural!

This is ridiculous.

I used to disagree with you regarding Semenya about sex classification but now it seems that you have an unfounded vendetta against Semenya.

Again, you're a site administrator. Why would you open up another attack on Semenya?

It seems like sometimes you find things to cherry pick, make it seem like it's news, and project it in the most negative light just to please your highbrow, petty shyster lawyer fraternity friends.

Seriously.

The way you give the news here reminds me of Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds. It's just picking at people with cheap beer in your hand.

Why pick on Semenya now?

What did she do to deserve it?

“I call myself supernatural”

I call you an a-hole.

The Comrades Marathon awaits his presence.

Rojo is OBSESSED with calling out the flaws of black athletes. OBSESSED. You’re an adult?

Yes. I care to comment [...].

If believing that humans (whether intersex or transgender) that respond to testosterone shouldn't be allowed to compete in Olympic women's track and field with elevated testosterone levels is considered bigoted, then I'm proud to be considered a bigot.
