No 800m, no worlds says defiant SemenyaSouth Africa's Caster Semenya is all smiles after winning the women's 800m at the Prefontaine Classic, but says she'll skip the World Championships if she's barred from her signature event over IAAF rules governing testosterone levels in femal athletes. However speaking to reporters on Sunday, she said there was no chance of her racing at the World Championships in Qatar if she is not allowed to run in the 800m. "If I'm not running 800m, I'm not running world championships," Semenya told reporters. I'm a world champion, I'm an Olympic champion, I've achieved everything I've ever wanted. Coleman, rapidly emerging as the 100m favourite for the World Championships, said he believes he can lower his time.
