Really Caster you don't have to respond to everything written about you, elite sports-persons are publicly scruitinised every minute of each day, wena you protest too much, just enjoy your silver medal before you bring media spotlight to yourself....keep your head low Caster engage the public via your spokesperson if you have any, really you don't need this public spat.

Iphone5 not so fast mbalula has nothing to shine about, considering that how under represented team SA is, if we had a bigger team we'd have more chances of competing in other disciplines and gained more medals but no our tax is used to entertained minister and friends as they all are a product of screwed up priorities (ANC regime), if only African leaders understood value behind investment, instead of chowing both the Goose and the Golden Eggs at once cause they are greedy and are without a vision, I still would like to know how paying beyonce millions of SA's hard earned tax will improve our sports.

The anc ministers are addicted to throw our hard earned tax into the pit, there was a time they gave millions to Ngema for aids awareness, had that money been given to the NGO's who are at the forefront of supporting sufferers and making public awareness about this diseases much more would have been accomplished, I still fail to understand input of sarafina to aids project.

Another surprise team for me was men weightlifters of Iran they grabbed most of the medals that matter in that category,

Hopefully the women hammer gold winner will checked for doped cause she has a tendency I also didn't like how she celebrated whilst the German contender qualification was still being disputed, what an arrogant and un Olympic spirit that was?

For the big part the event was an amazing success, SA gov plse take note and learn how humble British gov officials were throughout this event, they were even ordered (with teh rest of the nation) to take public transport to avoid clogging up the roads, I was so wowed by Boris mayor of London, what a humble man, wish more politicians were like him, I just might have some respect for them.

As I've said Shredder connect the dots as I don't have luxury of time to explain to you the obvious, on my charge that zuma-dlamini anc mp was a racist for singling out one athlete at the very least her behaviour was unprofessional, she was like Balfour saying in cricket she only seen Makhaya, how can the anc preaches unity when its ministers act in a way which disunites? what was difficult for zuma-dlamini to be professional and wish all participants from SA to do well, cause their gain is ours, these athletes contribute to the tax zuma-dlamini draws her salary from, she is always a mampara and I blame the anc regime that they seem to be prone to having mampara ministers.

@Dandan Caster should know better that SAns are unforgiving than to defend and justify her behaviour, I mean all athletes (professionals) go to these games with one thing in mind, to get gold, its very upsetting for the nation to be denied opportunity to get gold, not to take away anything from the Russian ladies that were running in Caster's group, they were good, but if Caster applied herself she would have had gold now, as possible controversy there is always going to be controversy, that's the nature of the beast

@Dandan I suppose many black ppl come from backgrounds where have to scramble for things I think from where Caster comes she trully believes that she has arrived, little does she know is that 200K is not going to take her too far, I wish we were not a race that is settling for less, unfortunately for us our politicians are ensuring that we will receive less best and they know they will not be challenged, I mean look at Angie's arrogance and her inability to take responsibility since the text fiasco, look at how the president is dilly dallying around the situation, in developed countries no politicians will get away with delivering less less best, even no in the UK the British are counting the costs against the gains, if there is more loses then heads will roll if there are more gains Cameroon's party can already put champagne in the fridge as second term is on the taking for them, this is what I like about the Western constituent, do you know also political parties are every day out there looking out for ways to improve lives of their constituencies? their officials are not sitting pretty in air conditions offices they go out to interview the public on issues they want to see changes/improvements on and they implement those, in the West politicians truly earn their place into tax payers pocket, unlike these politicians we have who think it their right to rule us aground, it is ruling the nation aground when future leaders developmental needs are dumped at some sight in limpopo and no one is held to account about that, and the nation is mischievously calm about this?

The 800m run involves more a tactical approach than just racing for the finish line. There are points that require reserving stamina and those that one needs to propel forward with all they have. She has admitted that her tactics were slightly off the mark. An admission of guilt should be enough to put a close to the chapter rather than open her up to more scrutiny.

Caster baby girl you need to improve on your running strategies. The strategy at which you are running at right now? ain't gonna get you no gold anytime soon.

Check how the men's 800 race was ran... with 'agressiveness and attitude' ... get some 'agro' le wena into your running. This so called 'African humbleness' in field and track is so last century.

Otherwise you are destined for gold. Those Russian women (and Kenyans) have nothing compared to you gurl. Good luck next time - we'll still be cheering for you.
