I feel bad for her because she probably has been mocked all her life. At least she can be finally do something that she can be proud of. Besides, why are they questioning her gender now after she won. If there was a problem, they should have checked her out discreetly before the race instead of embarrassing her after she won.

Here's a little clip of her doing an interview after the semis at the World Champs. Deep voice or no, apparently she spoke to a reporter from 702 radio, telling her critics to go to hell. :knife:

According to the internet, Czech runner Jarmila Kratochvilova still holds the world record at 1:53.28. Take a look at her, it seems to be a difficult call as well.

its a difficult call, but i can’t help feeling she’s got more of the male chromosomes.
two seconds is by no means marginal over 800m, its a down right thumping!
