Women's 1500m World Championships Race

I disagree. She has an advantage over women in the 800m because of her biology, but not in the 1,500, because she's not built for the 1,500. Ajee Wilson is lucky that the 1,500 comes first, too, because I would think the rounds will take a lot out of Caster.

While I agree that she is not built for the 1,500 normally. However you have to think about the race as a 2.75 warm up/positioning trot and then a kickers lap to see who wins. She IS built for a race like that!

Just read the article the LR did previewing the race. Anyone who doesn't think Caster will win is CRAZY. It's pretty obvious at this point that Championship racing has become a sit, get into good position and kick race.Caster has closing speed the rest of the field can only dream about. If the first 700 is over 2 minutes the rest of the field is SCREWED. If any of these women are smart they will take it out hard and not let up.

I bet Caster could run 3:48 if she actually trained for this event. Either way she'll run sub 4 by blasting a bell lap that no one else will be able to match.

I think Caster has only got about a 75% chance to even make the final. I wouldn't be shocked if she won or medaled, but I would say it's very unlikely.

If she wins the 1500m, the sport would become even more of a joke. It definitely would help the IAAF case against CAS, however. But, CAS is a swamp full of idiots anyway, so I doubt it would help solve anything.

Besides Caster, this race is what I'm looking forward to the most... it's so unpredictable. Right now, here are my three medalists:

Gold: Faith Kipyegon

Silver: Sifan Hassan

Bronze: Genzebe Dibaba

I agree, he won't win, but I wouldn't be shocked if he medaled.

2nd Fastest time in the qualifying rounds. Look for more of the same in the semi-finals.

The way she looked in the first round- she's a major threat. And I hope she wins gold- more chances this way that something will be done about this.

Don't forget that he can drop a 50.xx 400, unless of course it suits him better to jog one to look less manly.

I'm talking about the women's 1500m race. I put it right in the subject line. Why do you keep referencing a "he"?

"He", because there is an on-going debate on how to classify trans-genders. My vote would be to have them compete in the men's division.

What has a decathlete run? Certainly she is not less able than one of them

Because testicles, internal or external are not found in women. S he's a blank. No female organs, only male.

A sad physical handicap for a woman, but a bonus in the Women's Olympic events.

Butt he question is still if its fair to enter her in the women's events.

Ajee is also lucky PC cucked officials let her get away with being a doper. That "tainted meat" excuse is one of the more hilarious cover stories we've seen over the past few years.

Semenya doesn't do enough strength work to run a really fast 1500. He's hoping for slow races.

It's OK to call Semenya "he" because Semenya was born with a penis, testicles, and vagina, no womb, no ovaries etc.

No, it's not by any means "ok". She identifies as a woman and has a vagina. She was not born with a penis-- do you even understand hyperandrogenism?

I don't think she should be allowed to compete do to her condition but degrading her as a person is sickening and wrong.
