rudisha lookin skinny
It is too bad that Rudisha is too old to be the best anymore. At 32 David will never run sub 1:44 again.
You really shouldn't be commenting on an athlete's appearance.
He got almost everything:
1 World Junior Championships 800m 2006
2 Olympic Gold medals (800m 2012, 2016)
2 World Championships 800m 2011, 2015
2 African Championships 800m 2008, 2010
Setting 800m world record 3 consecutive times.
He looks the same to me.

He still needs to win in Tokyo to surpass Snell.

He is way ahead of Snell already, as is Wilson Kipketer. Years after his prime, Rudisha still dominates the all time list like Snell never did. Also much longer time at the top, it's not even close.
Is 1:42.80 still the age 32 record?
If anyone could go a bit quicker, it would be Rudisha
Rotich at 34 1:42.54 impressive. Has to be one of oldest elite runners to ever PR at 800m
That Info is wrong. Rotich was born Nov 89, not Jan 85
Wikipedia says he's retired. Think Rudisha is done with competitive running.

No, Snell didn't have a Golden League or Diamond League with pace setters to set fast times on every other week.
Snell retired at his peak after his double in Tokyo at only 26 ( the races he had on his farewell tour the next year hardly count). He didn't retire because of injury or such but because it was the financial reality back then.
He would very likely have won a third gold in Mexico City if the sport was professional back then.
Not to mention the doping busts of the last decade ought to put an asterix next to every Kenyan great. That's the way it is.
And before you say Rudisha had far more competition, that's just an assumption based on racism. Snell competed in the baby boomer era when athletics drew the top talent. Snell was also a talented tennis player - doubtful if he would have been talked into switching to moddle-distance running today.
He ran 1:44 on grass in lousy spikes when part of his training was running to and from work.
Having said that, I'd love to see Rudisha win a third gold, but I can't see it.

Did he get fat? He looks to be 8-10lbs from Olympic weight to me.
The 2012 London 800M may be the best 800M race I’ve ever seen.
Watch the Rome race again. Snell slipped by on the inside of Moens n the final 100m straight. If Moens changes his final charge just slightly he runs less distance and keeps Snell properly boxed, Moens wins the 800m gold.
No doubt in my mind Moens was as fit or fitter than Snell in 1960 over 800 and Moens said he was in better shape winter 64.
Snell was never as fit as Doubell was in 1968.

Every once in a while Coevett will slip up and reveal he’s also a moran in the normal, everyday way.

OK, I now see your point. Snell's 60s opponents did have a Golden League or Diamond League with pace setters to set fast times on every other week. Only Snell was deprived of that - or, hm...

I don't know if Rudisha is a doper, I'd like to believe not but realistically it's certainly no more than 50/50. 4 of the top 11 Kenyan 800m runners from 2017 have already been suspended, so you're living in a fantasy world to think that doesn't suggest the possibility the fastest Kenyan of all-time might not have been clean.

I was talking about how you misspelled asterisk, which the other poster had hinted at obliquely.
