Ezekiel Kemboi (2ndR) of Kenya approaches the finish line to win the men's 3,000 metres steeplechase final, followed by Bouabdellah Tahri of France and Kenya's Paul Kipsiele Koech and Richard Kipkemboi Mateelong (L-R) during the world athletics championships at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, August 18, 2009.
South African teenager Caster Semenya, whose rapid improvement has prompted officials to order a gender verification test, won the women's world 800 metres title with a crushing performance at the World Championship in Berlin.
Powerfully-built but beautifully relaxed in motion, the 18-year-old clocked 1 minute, 55.45 seconds for the year's fastest time and a personal best by more than a second.
Fast-closing Jenny Meadows of Britain snatched third, three-hundredths of a second behind Kenyan world champion and Olympic silver medallist Janeth Jepkosgei in a personal best time of 1:57.93.
However, both Meadows and Jepkosgei finished more than 15 metres adrift from the dominant Semenya.
International Association of Athletics Federations general secretary Pierre Weiss said an investigation into Semenya's gender was underway in both South Africa and Berlin.
