Semenya to miss worlds
South African Olympic silver medalist Caster Semenya missed a place at the 2013 world championships by 0.36 sec in Belgium on Saturday. The 800m runner, who collected gold and silver at the past two world events, won her Flanders Cup race by clocking 2:01:86 in Ninove. But the 22-year-old needed 2:00.00 or better to match the A-standard time and at least 2:01.50 to squeeze into the team via a B-standard time.
