Olympic champion Semenya will perform at the World Championships in Athletics for the first time since 2017

south african runner Caster Semenya entered the list of participants in the 2022 World Championships in Athletics, according to the website of the World Association of Athletics (World Athletics).

The 31-year-old athlete is declared for a distance of 5000 meters. The tournament will take place at the American Eugene from July 15-24.

Semenya is a double Olympic champion, triple world champion in the 800 meters. The last time she participated in the world championship in 2017, where she won gold. The athlete was suspended from the 2019 World Championships in Qatar after the Swiss Federal Court reversed its decision to suspend the IAAF (now World Athletics) rule allowing female athletes with high levels of testosterone.

Semenya finished sixth in the 5,000m at the African Championships in June.
