Rudisha 1:40.91 WORLD RECORD!!

You guys are all a bunch of hypopcrites. Two days ago you were bashing Kenya and our culture and organization. Until one of us wins gold and breaks the world record. And now he's GOAT, and some of you have the nerve to accuse him of cheating?? Wow. Americans.. Just coz you don't have this kind of talent and discipline does not mean that nobody else does. Kenya's by far the best mid-d distance country in the world.. Live with it.

David Druggisha is running on a very good stuff and broke the WR of a former cheat from the great EPO era. And Jamaicans are picking up medals like apples...

Is there anybody, who is not digusted by this farce? But at least, we have all those great performances and world records, and we can watch it in awe.

Amos was easing off! He was completely burnt out!! He had to be stretched off, but thankful he recovered well. Great run nonetheless! Rudisha is King!

Rudisha ran 1:49 in iten when he was 15 in his first 800. If you think of how incredible that is, I don't think it is that hard to believe what he is doing now.

Do you have his birth certificate?

Rudisha's pace almost killed Amos.

Crazy stuff.

To say the least. His "pacemaker" has been holding him back all season. I really think he can go under 1:40 on the right day if he has the right pacemaker and the right conditions. He was Secretariat in the final. He dominated from the start. Right now, Bolt and Rudisha are on different levels than the competition. They prove a sub 2 hr marathon is possible someday. Humans keep getting faster.

Old thread, but even with all the 1:41s in the 800m in 2024 with Wanyonyi, Sedjati, Hoppel, Arop, and Tual, Rudisha's performance is still legendary. Even when 1:40.91 is broken (and eventually 1:40.00 if Project 99 succeeds), Rudisha will forever be an all-time great, especially with this incredible moment; Olympic gold and world record, front-ran for the entire race.

Just like the 2024 Paris 1500 final, the 2012 London 800 final never gets old.

This race was otherworldly at the time. Rudisha started the modern era of the 800.

Indeed. Project 99 is coming.

the year is 2028

Colin Sahlman has just run 1:39 for the 800

Trump is running for a 3rd term

Jake Paul is competing in his 20th pro boxing fight

FIFY

The Paris 2024 1500 final is simply not in the same class as Rudisha's achievement.
