Nike honoured South Africa's 800m Olympic and World Champion Caster Semenya with her own #JustDoIt campaign to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their iconic slogan.

In the advert, Semenya says just one thing; she tells those who have questioned her achievements that she is simply “born to do this”.

The advert depicts Semenya’s life as it plays backwards. The last few seconds of the ad is of a young ‘Caster’ taking her first steps.
