Erik Schinegger

The whole Caster Semenya furore reminds me of Erik Schinegger, the only man to have once been the world champion women's downhill skier.

Caster Semenya's Desert Island Discs

On the basis of an article in this morning's Metro, I'd guess the list would include some or all of the following...

Sigue Sigue Sputnik "She's my man"
Deep Purple "Strange kind of woman"
Shania Twain "Man! I feel like a woman"
Aerosmith "Dude looks like a lady"
Kinks "Lola"
Prince "If I was your girlfriend"
Alice Cooper "Mary Ann"
Waifs "Billy Jones"
Kate Perry "I kissed a girl"
Mutya Buena "Real girl"
Bob Dylan "Just like a woman"
Lou Reed "Walk on the wild side"
Chaka Khan "I'm every woman"
Happy Mondays "Kinky Afro"
Velvet Underground "Lady Godiva's operation"
Wham "I'm your man"
Peter André "Mysterious girl"

... but I might well be wrong.
