According to Nielsen, 79 339 South Africans visited www.sport24.co.za on Thursday 20 August 2009, the day after Semenya's success in the 800m race at the World Championships in Berlin.
Sadly, the news was not driven by her success, but rather around the doubts about her gender but there was support for Semenya from Sport24 readers.
Only once this year has that visitor number been bettered, that being on 29 June, the Monday after the Confederations Cup ended, the Springboks won the second test against the Lions to take the three Test series, Schalk Burger was banned for eye gouging and Peter de Villiers press conference performances attracted attention.
