It’s better to practice a little than to talk a lot …


It’s no secret that in 2009 Caster Semenya was faced with many gender disputes regarding her athletic career. She eventually was formally confirmed a female. I can only imagine how overwhelming it must’ve been to live under a microscope, being viewed by the whole world. Yet she didn’t speak much about the experience. Caster Semenya is blessed with an amazing natural talent, which doesn’t require her to practice much. Her performance on the racing track speaks for itself.

9 September 2010 Caster Semenya won the 800m at the Notturna di Milano meet in Milan. She finished in 1 minute, 58:16 seconds, her best time since being declared to run after everyone could finally agree that she’s female.

  1. i firstly can't see why anyone would think she was not a female. secondly, she is a perfect example of someone who let her craft speak for itself and she is a huge inspiration to everyone. sometimes its better to hold your tongue, the best revenge is doing well.
