Face it, David Rudisha is the best 800 meter runner in the world. A true student of the sport, David regaled London media at the AVIVA London GP last summer. He studies films of the greats: Coe, Ovett, Cruz, Aoutia, Kipketer, many before his era as well. Soft spoken, focused and driven, Rudisha runs the 800 meters like it was a very long sprint. RBR is looking forward to seeing him run the 400 and 800 meters next month!

By any measure, the #athletics portion of #CWG2022 was a huge success. Hoping for similar energy at #Munich2022. https://twitter.com/athleticsweekly/status/1556561722776948737

AW @AthleticsWeekly

There were 12 sessions of athletics over six days at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Given most were 30k sell-outs, it's safe to say around 360,000 people watched track and field this past
...week.

Wow.
