South Africa’s Olympians have been given a special welcome this morning as they touched down in Johannesburg.
Among the athletes returning was Caster Semenya – the victorious 800m runner.
Her victory was dogged by controversy as some said she should not be allowed to compete because of her hyperandrogenism.
But South Africans have defended her and Semenya’s parents – Jacob and Dorcus – were at the airport to greet her.
