In September, LeBron James watched the Olympic champion at the IAAF World Challenge meeting in Berlin. Semenya won the 1000m title in 2:30.70 and was able to break her own record.

“He is very close to my heart. He’s someone who inspires me a lot,” Semenya said during her interview on Tuesday.

“I would never thought he would take his time and come watch me run. So, it was a great moment. He told me to keep on working hard, I’m a special kid. That’s what he said to me so it’s just fantastic. I was deeply touched,” the 27-year-old champion said.

The IAAF agreed to postpone the implementation of new rules on high testosterone levels in female athletes. The rules were considered controversial, and the IAAF is postponing these by five months.

Semenya and Athletics South Africa (ASA) decided to challenge the proposal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Her hearing was pushed back to February with the potential start of the IAAF’s rule in March 26.

LeBron is happy with the way he motivates others. The kid from Akron grew into a successful basketball star, and nothing can stop him from conquering the world. LeBron is also successful in the world of entertainment, and he has already inked a few great projects. LeBron is really focused on his basketball career, and he is ready to win some games.
