With so much unwanted attention on her, it's nothing short of a miracle that South Africa's Caster Semenya has the strength and courage to keep training and picking up gold medals. Semenya held her own and won the 800m, her favourite event.
It's a possibility that Semenya may be running her last championship race unmedicated. After the race, Semenya praised the fans: "I just love you guys," she said. "It feels like home in London. There are such fantastic people here. Beautiful. I'm lucky to have a great support team who work with me. Full credit to them. Another world title is a fantastic honour for me and I love to do it here in London. The crowd are so welcoming to me and it makes it feel even more special."
