Rudisha turns 31 in September and says he hasn’t trained for a year and a half with a sitting bone injury. During that time, he’s put on 35 lbs (15 kg).
He’s still not training but seems to be over the worst of it and wants to defend his Olympic title in Tokyo.
He also said it’s been a rough couple of years. His father died last year and his marriage has been crumbling. He has also changed agents and his longtime training partner/pacer Sammy Tangui has retired.
But he’s also the GOAT. Everyone loves a comeback, I’ll be interested to see what Rudisha does in 2020.
