World 800m champion Caster Semenya has her sights set on the 800m and 1500m world records.
In a document released by her public relations team titled "Quest for Double Glory", Semenya listed her short-term and long-term goals.
She said she had overcome a difficult period after being cleared last year to run against women, following gender tests conducted in 2009, and was confident of improving the global standard in both middle-distance events.
"I am not defeated and am definitely not dejected," Semenya said in the document.
"I've grown strong in the midst of adversity and [being an] outcast. I will not be defined by any institution or perceptions of others but by what I am and what I stand for."
Semenya, 20, is ranked only 13th in the world this year in the 800m, having clocked 1min 58.61sec to finish third at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo in June.
She is also ranked 13th on the world all-time list, and would need to run more than two seconds faster than her 1:55.45 South African record to improve Jarmila Kratochvilova's 28-year-old world record.
Semenya would need to improve her lifetime best for the 1500m by more than 17 seconds to top the 18-year-old global mark held by Yunxia Qu.
She is unlikely to be selected by Athletics South Africa for the metric mile at the global championships in South Korea this month after falling more than four seconds short of the B-qualifying standard.
