Caster Semenya could miss world championships

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Olympic silver medalist Caster Semenya appears likely to miss next month's world championships after she was left off an initial list of South African athletes to compete in Moscow.
Athletics South Africa says the team will be finalized on July 29 to give athletes "a last opportunity" to qualify, but the 2009 world champion and 2011 silver medalist in the 800 meters has been inactive for much of season with a knee injury and only ran for the first time since the London Olympics this week.
Semenya won a lower-level 800 race in Finland on Wednesday in a sluggish 2 minutes, 6.58 seconds and has only 10 days to clock a qualifying time of 2:00 or better to qualify for the worlds.
