Rudisha, Aman & Kaki Win 800m Semi-Finals - London 2012 Olympics

Full coverage of the semi- final in the men's 800m event as David Rudisha (KEN), Mohammed Aman (ETH) & Abubaker Kaki (SUD) all claim victory to advance to the events final at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

[@ally4eva93]

Does anyone know why they barely used lane 1?

[@samanderson7745]

I remember from my racing days that the turn is sharper in lane 1, which is a bit harder on the ankles as you have to lean a lot more to stay a solid line, some tracks also have a curb around the inside of the track that can also trip up an athlete, not here so much. So, if they can they'll leave that lane open because it's the least favorite one for the athletes. Similar in the pool where they'll leave almost a full lane open on each side because the waves can be a bit more brutal on the outsides that levies an unfair advantage to whichever athlete would be so unlucky to get stuck there.

there were in lane 1 for almost the entire race..

Don't like Kaki never have. Acting as though he ain't tired after it. Like you ain't fooling anyone. You ain't as fit as you're making out. I'm glad he got smashed in the final. Take a note from your competitors and act a bit more humble.
