Solid run for Bayer, 8:17. He said he thought 8:15 shape or better, so he may not be happy, but promising for the future.

One of those cases where an athlete should be happy, if he isn't already. Just a few days after he last ran, several time zones away.
Also shows that they shouldn't have gone to back to Park City between rounds, and you can run just fine several days after being back at sea-level...
Yes, previous 8:18.08

Hello racist (you're the one bringing race in to it, not me).
Can't check anyone, thanks to CAS. Rudisha can show up in a crop top and a wig for the W800 and no one can question it.

Ludlow was pretty close to Semenya. Should check her for Y chromosome right?
You literally cannot determine someone's chromosomes from appearance. This is not an opinion. It is a fact.
There are plenty of people out there who 'look like women' who are XY. Many of whom do not know they are XY. This is a fact.
You are an idiot. This is also a fact.
We think Semenya is XY (or XXY?) because of leaked info from years ago. We make the same assumption about Wambui and Niyonsaba largely because of their shocking improvements this year. Their masculine appearance is evidence, NOT proof.

Wow, you know that some women are XY when they themselves don't. I may be omniscient, but you are truly GAWD.

Semenya's tests were leaked. True. An Idiot is someone who cannot see what is in front of their eyes. A coward is someone who refuses to face the truth, even when confronted with it over and over again.
You, sir, are both a fool and a coward.

We THINK Semenya is XY??? That was in the documents from the original inquiry.

how did the guys look? wrote:But here is where we need to get all three guys in more races. The $ is big in DL. Eventually, the other two will want to try to beat Semenya for 1st place $. If the three of them actually threw down and race each other, we'd have our CAS fight.
We can always hope they go and do something that stupid. What do you think would inspire a CAS fight? Under 1:50? Suspect their managers are too smart to allow them to do that though. They're winning too much now. If they get sent back to the male club ranks as they should be, they'll be dead poor, and won't be making any money at all.
Sadly I bet your're right. Coach probably has a limit on the pace... if someone goes faster tahn x, you do not go with them..." Would be interesting to get a 400 specialist in there to take it all out - if the person didn't announce their intent in advance and went out at 400 pace, the guys might follow and then keep going on lap 2? Espeically if all 3 were in there?
I think CAS might blink after 1:52/1:53.. but yeah, sub 1:50 is probably unfortunately more likely necessary.
But what really needs to happen is TV coverage showing Semenya up close.
The coverage always pulls away/shows her far out/ that 4x400 she won with those 3 other girls - s/he hid behind the 3 of 'em and just had her face showing in the picture.
There's a reason track fans are so upset by this, but the casual fan just doesn't see it. and if the camera angles at the olympics hide it, that wont help the cause.
i know what the phrase means. i was using sarcasm. i was literally writing sarcasticallymy English was perfect

gills are meant for breathing underwater
a gill is a respiratory organ found in many aquatic organisms that extracts dissolved oxygen from water and excretes carbon dioxide.

Has anyone ever seen a 1500 that went out sub 1:50? Let's compile a list of those.
The dude has jetlag.
Agree. However, there is only so much they can hide. It is going to come out in the wash. She has grown up from a few years back, and looks even more like a fuller man now than she did before (Semenya I mean). The athletes speaking out about it are right to do so (I think Sharp did. and copped a huge amount of criticism for her stance), and we should be backing them. Not hiding scared of other - very stupid and cowardly - people's opinions. It is ridiculously obvious that a bunch of XY men are scooping the prizes in women's races.
We have entered a surreal world, which lacks in all common sense when we cannot state the obvious and demand something be done about it (hormone therapy be reinstated at the very least).
Can't check anyone, thanks to CAS. Rudisha can show up in a crop top and a wig for the W800 and no one can question it.
Brilliant idea! Rudisha should compete in both the men's and women's 800m at Rio! He can be the first athlete to win both the men's and women's 800m in the Olympics. That would rain on Semenya's parade.

Ludlow 1:57! She should be on our team for Rio if not for the mishap. Confirms her 1:57 time trial from last year.
Theoretically.
A lot of people showed they can't take the pressure or the rounds. She might have faded anyway...we'll never know.
Now she's realized how fast she can run with all the pressure off and 3 internal testes boys setting pace for her.

Ok, so I am also upset at the CAS ruling and its effect on the sport, but NO, you cannot determine someone's chromosomes from looking at her. Jesus, just, no.
What you mean is, Ludlow is a hot white chick I am attracted to, so she must be a woman. Pretty shallow, bro.
Until you see her up close. --Smokin'!
What happened to Omar McLeod? 16. ?
It's kind of funny/ironic to me that women have been complaining/campaigning about equality for the last 50+ years and now we have a circumstance where a human is basically directly in the middle of a man and a woman and women are real bent out of shape about this.
For the record, if I was a woman I would not be happy with Caster running in female races without treatment. Semenya is basically right in line with what all those east Europeans were doing 30 years ago (maybe slightly better, "she" hasn't been pushed yet so we don't know). Women CAN NOT run 47.60 for 400 meters or 1:53 for 800. They just can't. There is a reason people keep winning worlds in 1:56+. If a Man ran a 41.53 or a 1:36.11 I would say the same thing. Not possible.
Can you guys imagine if Billy Jean King played a man who wasn't 55+ years old, or if people talked about the other 5 battle of the sexes matches that didn't go a woman's way?
Hit the last hurdle and fell.
