The fastest 800 m athletes of 2009
|
The King of the season?
His World Championship challenge ended in an unexpectedly chilly semifinal,
but after that David Rudisha showed that in better weather he is currently a
match for anyone. He won the Athletics final and the Golden League meetings
in Zürich and Brussels. On top of that he ran the fastest race of 2009
in a glorious run in Rieti. His stunning 1:42.01 was the fastest time since 1997
and in the alltime list he is now up to number four.
