The video has received a flood of YouTube views since Sunday.

JOHANNESBURG - In case you missed it, Nike has honoured Olympic gold medallist Caster Semenya in a tribute advertisement released this week.

Arcade Content's Kyle Lewis directed Unlimited Fight, which encapsulates Semenya's courage and determination in a montage of powerful portraits of teenage girls staring into the camera, with a message highlighting some of the continued criticisms directed at female athletes.

The clothing giant says the idea for the film comes from a long journey between Nike South Africa, their agency Design Futura and Arcade's co-founder and director Lebogang Rasethaba, who all played key roles in developing the delicate tonal and conceptual foundation of the advert.

The video received a flood of views in the space of a weekend and following Semenya's 2016 Olympic win on Sunday.
