Did anyone take a look at the photo of the Kenyan girl in the 800 from article on the front page:

That photo made me instantly think, "Caster Semenya."
Was anyone watching it live? Did they show her close up?
I sure as hell noticed it. I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who did.
I don't wish to insult anyone's appearance, but BOTH of the Kenyan girls in the 800 heats looked, moved, and ran like guys.
I *instantly* thought of Semenya, and of Kratochvilova.
