She needs to run under 15:10.00 before the end of June to qualify in the 5 000m for this year’s Tokyo Olympics, the report said.
“For me it’s about having fun at the moment,” Semenya said after the race.
“I’m not focussing on Tokyo yet. We’re still building up to that,” Semenya was quoted as saying soon after the race.
