'Track and field, you will still see my face.'

"I am here to stay," stressed media-shy Semenya after winning over the novel distance in Johannesburg."Track and field, you will still see my face. That is all I can say for now."

The 29-year-old won 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medals and three world titles over 800 metres, but can no longer compete at that distance because of a testosterone-related ruling. Semenya, who became a world champion for the first time in 2009 aged 18, refused to comply with the ruling and lost a legal battle to have it overturned.

She could not defend her world crown in Qatar last year because of the IAAF ruling and will also miss the Tokyo Olympics this year unless she changes her mind and takes medication.
