By AFPMore by this AuthorJOHANNESBURGDouble Olympics 800-metre champion Caster Semenya called herself "supernatural" this weekend after saying she hoped to compete in the 200m at the 2020 Tokyo Games. "I call myself supernatural," said the three-time world 800m champion after clocking 23.49 seconds to win a provincial championships 200m final in Pretoria. The athlete born in northern region capital Polokwane holds the South African records at 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1500m. Semenya took the athletics world by storm 11 years ago when becoming the world 800m champion in Berlin at the age of 19. The media-shy South African has faced constant legal battles during her career, leading to temporary bans from competing in her favourite middle-distance event.
