The world is advocating every country is equal. South African 800m runner Caster Semenya represents his country for the Olympics.
The 21-year-old -- who is coached by 2000 Sydney Olympics 800m champion Maria Mutola from Mozambique -- had to undergo drug tests followed by gender tests following that magnificent victory in Berlin.Semenya will face a tough test from Kenyan nemesis Pamela Jelimo, the defending Olympic champion who has bettered in five races the South African's season's best time of 1min 59.18sec.
She was barred from the track for almost a year before being cleared to run again and her comeback was hampered by a lower back injury and a growing belief that coach Michael Seme had taken her as far as he could.
"That's what I have to learn. I have to act professionally. But this is my first Olympics so it'll be special for me." for her, the result is important, but the most important is what she experienced on the process.
Errol Spence missed a gold medal

Errol Spence was given a second chance for getting a gold medal for his country, but his ability proved that he cannot accomplish the task.
The only American man left in the London Games started slowly and never got into a rhythm against his Russian opponent.
For the first time, the most successful Olympic boxing team in history is headed home empty-handed. When Andrey Zamkovoy's arm was raised after an otherwise unmemorable bout, Spence and the U.S. boxers had reached a nadir.
Spence's cautious, tentative effort against the more polished Zamkovoy was matched by most of his teammates, who weren't nearly good enough - or lucky enough in a mostly brutal draw - to match the nation's boxing pedigree. The Americans went out in a spectacular collapse, losing nine of their last 10 bouts. What a pity of him!
Russia's team is full of confidence

Before the Olympic games, what is the most important quality for the athletes? Confidence! That is the essential. When you do not believe you can win, who can tell you you are the winner?
Rio de Janeiro, Russia's synchronised swimming duets coach said before the game that he came to keep the legacy. He felt that when he stood in the squad, the gold medal has already been in his neck.
Russia have won both the team and duets titles at every Olympics since duets returned to the Games programme for Sydney 2000 and can complete another sweep of the synchronised medals when the team event starts on Thursday.
"Of course we were under pressure, we tried not to read any newspapers or listen to the news on the radio. We tried to forget about everything, because people seemed to have already hung medals around our necks," said Ishchenko.
