Associated Press photo editors have curated a series of images capturing Semenya's presence at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France. These photos document a pivotal day as the court deliberated on the controversial sex eligibility rules in sports.
The images show Semenya seated in the courtroom, engaging with her lawyer Gregory Nott, and leaving the court following the decision. The collection provides a visual narrative of Semenya's unwavering determination in the face of adversity.
The Ongoing Battle for Fair Competition
Semenya's case has drawn international attention, raising critical questions about fairness, inclusion, and the definition of sex in sports. The eligibility rules have been widely debated, with many arguing that they unfairly target Semenya and other athletes with differences in sex development (DSD).
While this ruling represents a step forward, the fight for equitable treatment in athletics is far from over. Semenya's perseverance continues to inspire athletes and advocates worldwide who champion the rights of all individuals to compete without discrimination.
