those of a man.
Britain's Lynsey Sharp has reignited the row over controversial South African runner Caster Semenya by admitting it was 'difficult' to race against her.
Sharp, 26, finished sixth in the 800m final while Semenya – who was once forced to undergo humiliating gender testing to prove she was female – took gold, setting a new national record.
After the race Sharp told the BBC: 'I have tried to avoid the issue all year. You can see how emotional it all was. We know how each other feels. It is out of our control and how much we rely on people at the top sorting it out.

'The public can see how difficult it is with the change of rule but all we can do is give it our best.'
