Horrible echoes of when Caster Semenya first emerged onto the world stage.
Namibian 18-year-olds Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi are in the 200m final, but aren't allowed to contest their favoured 400m.

Mijain Lopez is special. #CUB
He won #wrestling gold in the Men's Greco-Roman 130kg at @Tokyo2020 - making him the first man EVER to win four Olympic golds in wrestling.
A generational talent!

“Getting messages from young people saying they’ve never seen a trans person in sports before. Athletics is the most exciting part of my life ... If I can allow kids to play the sports they love, that’s my legacy and that’s what I’m here for” - @TheQuinny5 told @Devin_Heroux
