created him/her? Mokgadi Caster Semenya (born 7 January 1991) is a South African middle-distance runner and world champion.[1][2] Semenya won gold in the women's 800 metres at the 2009 World Championships with a time of 1:55.45 in the final.
Following her victory at the 2009 World Championships, questions were raised about whether Semenya had a physical condition that might give her an unfair advantage over other female racers.[2] She was withdrawn from international competition until 6 July 2010 when the IAAF cleared her to return to competition.[3][4] In 2010, the British magazine New Statesman included Semenya in its list "The World's 50 Most Influential Figures 2010".[5]
