Some interesting comments Wycliffe Kinyamal (Commonwealth Champ) who won the Shanghai Diamond League in a pb of 1:43.91.
"I come from the same village as Rudisha, he was always my example. Now I take over"
A bit presumptuous to think he's the next Rudisha, but it begs the question is Rudisha done?
Rudisha will run 1:42 this year and slay some player haters.
Anyone know what he can run for 400m? 1500?
Also in that same race, Solomon Lekuta. The Rudisha-inspired Maasais are mos def taking over.
I thought Rudisha was pretty much semi retired at this point.
Is he actually 6'6? Looked massive. I don't remember a lot of runners as tall as him
Good run from him, but Korir and Saruni would cruise past this dude in the last 100.
Love the spirit and passion he shows, but he’s got a long way to go to get to where Rudisha was. Agreed with last post on those two being ahead of him also.
I’ll be happy to be proven wrong, as I’m happy to watch athletes succeed, but dropping Rudisha’s name after a 1:43 800 would be similar to an American miler saying he will be the next Alan Webb after running a 3:52-53 mile (quickest comparison I could come up with).
he did not say he will be the next Rudisha. He said he is taking over. Maybe he means taking over representing that village. My take is that when he matures, his running style will be similar to Wilfred Bungei
ya and they list him as 152lbs. He certainly does not have a 6'6 150lb build http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Athletics+Commonwealth+Games+Day+8+ezYoR7dQYjJl.jpg looks more like 5'10 150 in this pic

That's what he meant. Home pride from Rudisha when he won gold at the CGs.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
