In such cases, it will be Semenya's first World Cup start in five years.

Semenya already has two Olympic golds and three World Cup golds in the special distance of 800 meters.

But she is not allowed to run that distance anymore due to too high testosterone levels.

A decision she appealed, and lost, twice.

After refusing to take medication for the elevated values, she chose instead to go up to the distance of 5,000 meters, where it did not go as well.

Until now.

- But it is a long process to learn to run 5000 meters.

It's like learning to walk again and I have just started, she said in connection with the African Championships.

At the World Cup, however, Caster Semenya will have nothing to do with the medal battle, her world year best is 15.31.50, Ethiopia's Ejgayehu Taye tops the time 14.12.98.

You see the World Cup in athletics on SVT between 15 and 24 July.
