I've seen Jonathan Edwards jumping 18.43 in Lille (wind aided). That was fantastic too.

[@frrixz]

Nice! I predicted this guy would have the world record in the 800 about 3 years ago. Nobody believed me then, but now he's beat it more than once!

[@trishaash]

i really admire Rudisha because he seems to come from a very humble background, he does not know how to brag or provoke his fellow athletes before that start of the race like Usain Bolt. God bless him!!

[@colossalko]

The commentator was amazing. You don't even have to speak Italian. I'd run a PB every time I heard someone getting that excited when I'm running.

[@douglaseshitemi]

Congratulations Rudisha.You make Kenyans proud! Keep up the good work!

[@TheOWLCITYADDICT]

His running style is like a 400m runner, only he's strong enough to run the full 800m with it.

[@Ineddiblehulk]

So strong! Look at that period from just before 600m when everyone else is really starting to feel it, he still just has so much power. Wow.

[@Suz1731]

the guy runs with such poise and elegance like a gazelle while the others struggle to keep up.One of the highlights of these games without doubt.

[@5foot11dude]

I was there! :D As well as Rudisha's fantastic World Record and all those Season/Personal Bests, Amos (the 18 year-old Motswana runner-up and World Junior Champion) did the following with his race: * Break the National Record * Break the World Junior Record * Equal Seb Coe's former World Record (set in 1981, broken in 1997) to become the joint-third fastest 800m runner in history

[@SonNative]

...cont on Rudisha. This guy is merely 21 and is yet to develop fully. He'll definitely go below 1:40 in the next two years and my hunch is that next year, he'll go below 1:41. Rudisha is just phenomenal. He makes me proud of being Kenyan and true to his name, he has returned the WR to Africa-the cradle of distance running. This record is for the entire African continent and should never leave, ever again! Ahsante Ndugu Lekuta. You make your father proud, you make your motherland proud. Hongera!

[@vMousec]

Bro predicted the future 🤙🏼

[@Imvelo31]

RUDISHA IS HANDS DOWN MY IDOL! he inspires me to do my best every time i step on the track! god bless all my 800 runners!

[@mytime81]

Asante sana Bwana Rudisha. Ni furaha isio na kifani kusherehekea rekondi yako mpya. Jizatiti zaidi, na jina lako litadumu daima kwenye vitabu vya historia!

[@TheGoose45]

Totally agree I am a 400 meter specialist and the hardest part i mostly the speed you have to hold for so long, the 800 is just ridiculous because its an all out print for soooo long

[@MrPhilosophicalpanda]

The main attraction in this event was definitely Rudisha's world record, but let's not forget Kivuva's stellar performance with an amazing 2:23.

[@DGK284]

This tremendous performance deserved a grander venue.

[@TheCopper05]

The World Record was amazing. Being from the US, though, Symonds was impressive.

[@Rogerio34567]

You can see he is simply a level above the other world class athletes. Thats because he is the worlds best

[@surveysaysNO]

FASTAHH DAVID! FASTAHH MAHN!

[@chuckmanofgod]

This place (Reiti) is also where Morceli ran his WR in the mile in 1993 (later broken by El Guerrouj in 1999). Dan Komen ran a WR for the 3000m in 1996 (still stands today). Ngeny ran a WR in the 1,000m here as well in 1999. So basically, 3 standing WR's are held on this track to this day.

[@SunnyKid975]

Rudisha's splits were: 49.1 (400m) and 1:14.54 (600m). Rudisha is also a decent 400m runner with a timed 45.9 effort.

[@mkirking]

Wow. purely amazing. that cheering in the last 100-150 must have been amazing to experience

[@ejh199130]

@MySonOfSam My freshman year i ran xc and track for the first time. I ran the 800 maybe 5 times that year and had a personal best of 2:06. I never ran track after my freshman year. Glad i saw your comment because of late i've been getting back into shape and trying to reach my full potential.

[@TheMoshpitmadman]

This is amazing. I'm a freshman at polytechnic high in long beach California and I'm running 2:10. This guy and David kipketer are my heroes, but they're insanely fast

[@sokha326]

I reckon this guy will be the first and if not, only person to break the 1:40 barrier

[@TheEctomorph]

When the excellent David Rudisha set the current world record time for the men's 800 metres - in September last year - he covered each 100m segment of the race in 12.63 seconds. That is remarkable ... incredible. Anyone who doubts this should just consider the following fact: MR AVERAGE IS NOT CAPABLE OF SPRINTING 100 METRES IN 12.63 SECONDS !!

[@speardeeply]

CL, you're right. Pure masochism. Guerrouj was a freak. I'm loving watching the Olympics. I just watched Farah win the 10K. But those guys seemed to be in less pain afterwards than the middle distance rowers. They were crying like school girls.

[@SunnyKid975]

David is definitely on a roll. Does anyone realize that his stride length is about 2.2 meters which means he can really gooble up distance without taking the sprinter turnover that raises his heartbeat too high. The wave of the future is tall lean runners over 1.95 meters (Rudisha, Bolt).

[@Rogerio34567]

VERY fast times for 1st and 2nd. Even 3rd and 4th were super fast. As for Rudisha he is simply the best 800m runner EVER

[@trackstr2384]

800 is the hardest race. But I love this race! David Rudisha is the man!

[@felixsv7]

Why are people saying that Rudisha isn't Bolt's level? Rudisha and Bolt are both smashing records in their respective fields and are both incredible athletes. I think that Rudisha, Bolt and Bekele are all at the very top of Athletics now.

[@Angipiche]

Flabbergasting, Boggling Breaking a 11 yr old record TWICE IN A WEEK !!!!!! David thou are amazing Finally somebody is near Usain

[@supermashuhuri]

This is insane! The pacesetters were disintegrating to dust at 500m but this Kenyan guy just blasts past that as they drop out and blazes the next 300m, breaking his record again in less than a fortnight. All this records from the early 90'S seemed invicible mountains to even dare to climb but this new breed of athletes are just smashing them to pieces.BOLT + RUDISHA!! What is the xplanation?????

[@mytime81]

@mrcatohead That is pace making. Tangui paced for the first 400m, and Kivuva for the next 200m then left Rudisha to go for the jugular. That's is to make him run faster and gauge the pace. Left alone he can be slower hence not break the record.

[@MrVK1993]

I saw him running his fabulous African Record in Heusden. It was way too cold that day for a good time. But he did it. Back then you could already feel the WR in a couple of months.

[@mosshark]

unreal sustained speed. and a powerful kick to boot. beautiful running

[@njiakweli]

proudly Kenyan :)

[@ralucagymnast]

This is absolutely incredible to behold; to be able to sustain this speed is just mindblowing:) He reminds me of a gazelle in full flight:)

[@phastman]

@cobrien1977 the 400-800m split actually started timing when Tangui crossed the line, not Rudisha. theres no official splits for this race but they're said to be around 48.9 and 52.1

[@rcaddict72]

not disagreeing too much, but Rieti isnt really a low key meet. its renowned for its fast track, and is a popular late season meet for those who miss their peaks at championships..its actually a pretty big meet..

[@ChrisMan42o]

WOW!!! he looked like he could probably run another 800 when he finished, what a hero i hope to run the 800 under 1.50 someday

[@aaronyt2819]

Literally a week later he broke the WR. Legend

[@geldean1446]

In response to SunnyKid975: Nick Symmonds is now the 8th fastest US 800m runner of all time, which is exactly where he was before the race (with a PR that's now .07 faster than his previous best). He trails Johnny Gray, Mark Everett, David Mack, Rich Kenah, Rick Wohlhuter, Earl Jones and Khadevis Robinson. I feel he still needs to be a little quicker to have a shot at the medals at the outdoor WC's or Olympics.

[@MrHickster12]

@coalcoalcoal Yes that is Sammy Rangui he paces David Rudisha. He did so at the Sydney and Melbourne track classics as well

[@biscuitmancollin]

@coryhalorich That is not exactly true. Nick Symmonds runs the first lap of his 800m 'slower' relative to his competition. He does not, however, run the first 400m slower than his second 400m. So he actually runs his first 400 faster than the second one. I split timed his 2008 Olympic Trial victory at 800m. His first 400m was run in the ballpark of 50.0-50.5. His final time was 1:44.10, giving him a time of 54.10 for the second lap.

[@phastman]

@kanyeezys Rudisha's 400m split in his previous WR in Berlin was 49.1, there's no official split for him in this race but Sammy Tangui (Rudisha's rabbit) went out in 48.2, so Rudisha's 400m split here was probably sub 49

[@thekerns2009texas]

the 800m maxes out both the aerobic and the anaerobic energy pathways in the body. the body literally depletes itself of almost all storage of ATP. It is the hardest race in track if the runner pushes themselves to their limit. the 1500 relies more on the aerobic whereas the 400 is anaerobic with aerobic intermixed. 800m is maximal exertion with sustained effort And @ CL10822 the lactic acid is not what burns it is the hydrogen ions that are a byproduct of glycolysis

[@phastman]

@Scicotion Rudisha didn't go out in 45 for the first 400m, not even close. Sammy Tangui (his rabbit) went out in 48.2, so Rudisha's 400m split was probably around 49s, which is what he got in his 1:41.09

[@IamChantryCargill]

@sasypop Running is an individual sport. Your genetics ultimately determine your ability. What you should focus on is challenging yourself and your own times. Be competitive, but don't worry if other people have more natural talent than you.

[@surveysaysNO]

@Evanschamp It's not sped up, but about 7 seconds of video is cut out on the 2nd turn. Look again.

[@SunnyKid975]

lost in all of this is the 3rd place finish of Nick Symmons at 1:43.76 which I believe is the 3rd best time all-time by a US athlete in the 800m. Nice run also Nick.

[@geshmn]

seems the future is on tall athletes like Bolt and Rudisha.Paul Tergat was also quite tall for a marathoner but Gabreselasie seemed to always have an upper hand,could he have done somthing better? was it coaching? can taller athletes handle tha marathon too?

[@SunnyKid975]

@MrKarlozz Rudisha is 1.90 m and is tall for a 800m runner. Bolt is 1.95 m. The latest records are being broken by taller runners. There are ONLY 2 ways you can run faster. The equation for SPEED = stride length times stride frequency. You either increase your stride length or increase your stride frequency (turnover). Bolt and Rudisha have great stride length. Tyson Gay has great stride turnover.

[@silversk8erz]

I Have a question because i would really want that time next year as a jr. What type of training did you do off season and on season? thanks

[@papano12]

[@melglen1]

I wasnt bringing down africa , I was just saying there is probably many talented young athletes in Africa that have had limited training and coaching , but would thrash highly coached and trained american college runners that are commenting here.

[@Gravyman]

Really tough race to run. Requires so much pacing and knowledge of your own body.

[@ralucagymnast]

My daughter ran a 2:27 800m shes 12, and has only been doing athletics for a couple of months; she prefers sprints(100m 200m 4x100m relay) and long jump. Her best 100m is a 14.7 but as I say shes only just started, Shes got a lot of natural speed, she just needs to learn to channel it expeditiously, without wasting any energy, if you get what I mean;) After all, shes got LOADS of time to improve hasnt she. She swapped over to athletics after nearly 8 years of gymnastics:)

[@hsr89]

WHAT. THE. HELL. The way he busted out on that last 350 was RIDICULOUS. amazing...

[@Mudeyee]

During the summer I trained for a Tri-Athlon for a school group of mine and then in the fall I ran Cross Country. If I had to give a few pointers, I would say get the mileage in during the off season and a couple months before track add in some speed work outs. My least favorite one was probably 800 repeats. I would do 6 of them with about 2.5 minutes of walking in between each. At first it sucked, but by the time track came along, I was able to maintain a 2:30 pace for each repeat.

[@ijenns318]

Kivuva was helping pace Rudisha that's why he ran 2:23...he paced him through 500m and jogged the rest of it after 600m.

[@KuIJohnQ]

Legend

[@SonNative]

@TehAwesomeness, What's your probem? "What the problem is?" It matters not whether I can run a 1:45 or a 5 minute 800m. I am ELATED(!) about my countryman. I am beyond myself! I am excited! I am delighted, I am ecstatic, I am exhilarated.......... I don't know how I became the subject of this discussion. It was about David Rudisha, my fellow KEnyan, the finest without a doubt! It wasn't about me. I hope I am clear.

[@speardeeply]

Sushicheese, you're a charmer. And so eloquent!

[@speardeeply]

Dan, sports physiologists say that no human can run full speed for much more than 300 meters. One coached technique is to unwind like a spring. Full speed early and plan it to be spent at the end. The other is to run 9/10ths speed early, then 8/10ths, and so on. A 90% effort requires approximately the same energy from a fast sprinter as it does from a slower one, but the distance covered is different. Isaac Newton frowns, but that's the real world. 400 hurts, but 800 hurts much more!

[@adamroflll]

you're doing the same thing as me, comparing the two! so I applaud you on that remark. once again, it is your opinion that the "beethoven" of track is the 800m. I'm saying that millions of people enjoy the 100m more.

[@SonNative]

Rudisha has his own identity and to say that he is not at Usain Bolt's level is pure insanity. There are three runners who are head and shoulders above everyone else; 1. Usain Bolt 2. Kenenisa Bekele 3. David Lekuta Rudisha. These three athletes at their prime are the best without a doubt. Just lookat lalang's 1:42.95 when compared to his WR . He is about ten metres ahead of the manin an 800m race. At the 250 metre mark, you can see him separating himself from Boaz lalang. ...cont.

[@track2996]

@newromantic888 He easily managed to break Kiptekers record on two occasions. Cosidering that he is only 22, he still has a lot of improvement ahead of him, and how is his technique not graceful? Great stride length, stride rate, no unnecessary bouncing when he runs, and no rocking from side to side like many other runners. Pretty sure he'll be able to compete and/or break records for at least another 4 years.

[@happytobeproud]

@kofinater jajajajaaja im with you 1000000% dude. that is a sweat beat. The announcer was also super hyped and wicked cheers

[@YTubeGuy]

@captainspirou Well there were a lot of rumors circulating before the race that he was going to attempt to break the record. He'd already broken the world record in Berlin a few weeks before this race, so everyone knew he was in phenomenal shape. And Rieti is known for being a fast track. Also, there's always a host of great athletes at the meets in Rieti, you'd just think the stadium would be full.

[@ChRiSsPiNkS13]

he said that he used to do 100 and 200 (unbelievable right?!) and he was told he was better suited for 800 by someone (can't remember who) and in his first EVER attempt he ran 1:52, not sure of his age though

[@Triekki]

@supermashuhuri Rudisha has had an amazing season! From how well he ran last year and his disappointment in Berlin, I figured he would be getting close to the WR this year. The scary thing about Bolt is that he has broken the 100m record by more than Rudisha has broken the 800m record! The 800 record was a lot older though.

[@worldsman]

He was like 22-23 when he did this. I think he will go under 1.40, and it will be historic!

[@stranger1587]

What happened to Mr. Tanguii?? He went of first to the 0:55 second of video, and then, he went not neither in the top seven... o.O

[@bloodhaven7]

Very nice run. Life goal of mine is To run a 1:50 and as a senior in high school i hope to run a 1:58 this year. Placed third in the state with a 2:01 last year as a junior. Sadly a sophmore ran a 1:51 and sat state record.

[@SunnyKid975]

Seb Coe ran 1:41.73 in 1981 Rudisha ran 1:41.01 in 2010. In 29 years the record has only been brought down by 7/10 of 1% or 1.007 I would say the record is close to it limit. I think the limit in the next 5 years is 1:40.

[@DrUnclemoose]

love it! does anyone know the song at the end that sounds french?

[@panthersrock77777777]

That is actually average for an 8th grader, as a 8th grader I ran a 2:20, and as a 9th grader (Freshman) I ran a 2:12 and now as a 10th grader (Sophomore) I run a 2:07. Train as your Coach says he knows the best for you. During the race you should make your move with 300m to go, that is where people slow down and that is the time for you to win and be stronger than everyone else. If you have any questions just ask me.

[@bynems1]

i'm still sitting at 2:17, so this is incredible. I run these for track, and to sprint one of these is definately beyond me.

[@XxKIDxDarknessxX]

also are you a distance runner? because im wondering if all the sprinters had to do the 800s aswell

[@mamallama27]

do you not realize the guy in first was the pace setter?? do you not realize that rudisha was in third and then took off? he wasnt struggling at all

[@Rogerio34567]

By quite a way, Bolts 100m/200m and Komens 3000m are ahead of all other running events!! But Rudisha's 800m is 3rd With Bekele's 5000m/10000m and Gebresalasie's Marathon not far behind :)

[@dan32113]

@dvivgaauto you are correct, but Edwards smashing the World record in consecutive jumps is incredible, further than Harrison has jumped(legally) ever. 18.16m, then 18.29m. Edwards is the Michael Johnson of Triple Jump. FACT

[@ChRiSsPiNkS13]

yeah, but Bolt was probably a lot younger when he ran 800 because he was running at the world youth games for the 200m wasn't he? I'm just saying for a 15 year old 100m and 200m specialist to become the 800m world record holder in such a short period of time is remarkable and i find it hard to believe!

[@ChRiSsPiNkS13]

I didn't literally mean I don't believe how good he is. But for example if a British 15 year old 100m and 200m runner went on to break the 800m world record, it would be very rare and impressive feat. It's not exactly common what he did, I don't doubt anything he has done, I just find it hard to believe
