Congratulations to Olympic champion Caster Semenya who obliterated the Commonwealth Games record to win gold in the women’s 1500m race. She also broke the South African athlete Zola Budd’s record which was set in 1984. The win earned the athlete her very first Commonwealth Games medal. It is definitely the year of Caster Semenya!
We’re very proud of you Caster!
