RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Caster Semenya qualified for the Olympic women's 800 metres final with supreme ease on Thursday and, barring a catastrophe, appears nailed on for gold in Saturday's final.
The South African, looking as if she was out for a Sunday morning jog, won the third of three semis in the fastest time of the night - one minute, 58.15 seconds - with Britain's Lynsey Sharp chasing her over the line to also advance.
