Usain Bolt smashed the world record in the 100m at the World Track & Field Championships in Berlin. 9.58! The previous record was Bolt's 9.69 at the Beijing Olympics. Tyson Gay was second at 9.71. Asafa Powell third at 9.84. Video (commentary in German). Props to the photographers chasing him down the track after the race.

Interesting article about South African teenager Caster Semenya. Apparently "her" sex has come into question. Hmmmm!

Her pix:

Trey Hardee takes the decathlon reacting here in the shot put had a great performance in the javelin.

Caster Semenya has had a complete makover to display her feminine side.

new pic

Semenya has been found to be a hermaphrodite/inter-sex human. Sadly, she'll prolly be striped of her medals & she has withdrawn from a S. African race.

...Ahhhh nature & its many mysteries & diversity!

No official statement until November 20-21

They really need to try and set some hard and fast rules.

I have great sympathize for her/him (herm?) and South Africans.
