The fastest 800 m athletes of 1999
Wilson Kipketer wins in Oslo
The king is back! Wilson Kipketer raises his arms to the sky celebrating victory at his 1999 track debut at the Bislett Games.
Despite fierce opposition from (left to right) Tellez, Haïda, Bucher, Rodal, Botha, Onyancha and Kimwetich he scored an emphatic win. And that was only the beginning.
Many had serious doubts whether Kipketer would be able to come back after his malaria attack in 1998. In 1999 he proved to himself and the world that he is once again the man to beat. After winning all seven Golden League meetings he collected his share of the golden jackpot, and added yet another win in the München Grand Prix final for good measure.
Now that he has won the World Championship title for a third time Wilson Kipketer surely is the 800 m athlete of the decade.
