With events for the Track & Field World Championship currently underway in Germany, there’s been much discussion surrounding many of the competitors. Since his record-breaking wins at the 2008 Olympics, there was the expected talk about Jamaica’s Usain Bolt who once again shattered records when he ran an astonishing 9.58 seconds in the men’s 100 meters dash on Sunday (see video). But as exciting a runner as he is to watch, speculation has momentarily shifted away from him to South African teen, Caster Semenya, and not for any good reason.After the first-time competitor’s win in the women’s 800 meters event earlier this week, officials are once again questioning the sex of the athlete who was to be subjected to a battery of gender-verification tests but have yet to produce the results (read story). Looking at Semenya’s photo, it’s not hard to see why people are confused. There is nothing distinctly feminine about her(?) from her physical appearance to her(?) deep voice and her(?) mannerisms. However, immediate proof for me lies in the underarm hair. I’ve seen underarm hair like that before but it wasn’t on any woman. But of course everyone is different so I'll just have to wait and see what the test results reveal. Happy Thursday!
Underarm hair expert...Hmmm what other skills do you have?
ReplyDeleteToo many to list :) But look closely and ask any woman- they'll tell you their hair does not grow out like that (if they actually went to an event without shaving)!
