Semenya to return to competition • Michael Seme says Semenya will resume career• No IAAF comment on ongoing gender test investigationCaster Semenya's coach says the women's 800m world champion will return to international competition despite an ongoing gender test investigation."She's going to run in international events," Michael Seme told Associated Press, adding that she would start at local events as a training exercise.Semenya has never been officially suspended by the International Association of Athletics Federations, pending results of the gender tests."We are still in the same position as before: no official IAAF comment until we have finished the inquiry and I can't tell you how long the inquiry will take either," the IAAF spokesman Nick Davies said.Hours before the 800m final in Berlin in August, the IAAF said it had ordered gender tests to be conducted because of Semenya's muscular build and rapid improvement in times. Her future as a runner has been in doubt since."They are through with all those things," Seme said.Caster SemenyaAthleticsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
O'Sullivan and Selby to contest Masters • World No1 beats Mark Williams 6-5• Mark Selby wins to set up repeat finalAfter a match that merited inclusion on the lengthy list of classics in the 35-year history of the Masters, Ronnie O'Sullivan defied his own expectations to beat Mark Williams 6-5 at Wembley Arena.O'Sullivan, who today meets Mark Selby in a repeat of last year's final, edged a rare contest that combined both drama and high quality, yet continued to insist that he was playing poorly and relying on grit. "That's bullshit," said Williams. "The way I played, there's only Ronnie who could've beaten me."En route to equalling Stephen Hendry's record of nine Masters finals, O'Sullivan recovered from 2-0 and 5-4 down, compiled breaks of 86, 99, 60 and 67, and retained impeccable discipline.Williams, who made two centuries, had chances in a tense decider but having squandered one with a weak positional shot, later missed a long red to a baulk pocket and O'Sullivan shaded it on the brown.Selby, a Wembley specialist who won the 2008 Masters, pulled away from 3-3 with a trio of dominant frames to beat Stephen Maguire 6-3.If O'Sullivan collects the £150,000 first prize he will join Cliff Thorburn, Hendry and the late Paul Hunter as only the fourth player to successfully defend the Masters title.Ronnie O'SullivanSnookerguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
