About Beatrice Masilingi

Beatrice Masilingi (born 10 April 2003) is a Namibian sprinter. In April 2021, she ran 49.53 s in the 400 metres, an unofficial third-fastest world under-20 time in history. Masilingi placed sixth in the women's 200 metres at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, having made the final along with fellow Namibian sprinter and eventual silver medallist Christine Mboma. Weeks before the 2020 Summer Olympics, World Athletics (WA) had announced that both Masilingi and Mboma would not be allowed to compete under the female classification in events between 400 metres and one mile due to WA regulations on XY DSD athletes with naturally high testosterone levels.
