Caster Semenya Sprouts Beard During 800m Run

Making his her Olympic debut three years after being forced to undergo gender tests, Caster Semenya finished second in her 800m preliminary heat on Wednesday morning.

Sadly, things got a little hairy during the race, as the 21-year old was sporting some serious facial fuzz by the time she crossed the finish line at 2:00.71.

While a Top 2 finish would normally guarantee a spot in tomorrow’s medal round, Olympic officials aren’t sure whether or not to let the whiskered wonder compete.

“I’ll be so hurt if they don’t let me represent my country,” the South African star told OMGG.com. “It’d be even more painful than that time I was kicked in the nuts.”
