Ava Radmanovich https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/04/opinion/sunday/caster-semenya-running.html 1. Advocate/ Praise 2.  Thesis: Female athletes should be celebrated and recognized more often, rather than just when an incident like this comes up and are described in a negative way. - Debates on what will define female athletes won’t save women’s sports, paying more attention to them will - ironic that there is such a big deal over a sport that usually would have relatively little coverage in the first place -  There is more focus on Semenya’s situation, not women’s accomplishments- without this picture posted, there would have been no recognition of the athletes pictured behind her otherwise
