How Violet and Caster Semenya convinced Glenrose Xaba to join their training group | “Glenrose is an introvert. She is a very strong athlete and a real go-getter. She is easy to coach.'
She was speaking after her charge stormed to a personal best time of 31:55 in the third leg of the 10km Spar Women’s Grand Prix series at Kings Park Stadium.
“That’s when she won the 10km Spar Women’s Grand Prix series in 2018. Then she realised she was a long-distance runner.” “I did not mean that her coach [Seme] was not doing a good job. He was, but, as a woman, I know what the body of a woman requires,” she said. “I’m very protective of my partner. That’s my partner, not yours. You know her as Caster. To me she is Mokgadi,” she chuckled. “I don’t like to speak on her behalf. She will speak for herself the day you meet her. But don’t think that she has retired. That’s the only thing I can tell you now.”
