No soul under the sun can match with precision and class David Rudisha’s brilliance in 800m.
His feat seemed to have a heavenly touch. No one would have directed such a steady progression in the race –not even the prophets, but only God.
And ‘King’ David summoned his powers to stand out as the greatest 800m athlete of all time. His unrivalled achievements in the two-lap race clearly shows a steady evolution in the men’s 800m all-time mark in the last 15 years.
