David Rudisha lowers his own 800m record to 1:41.01

Kenyan David Rudisha was on top of the world just last week, as he broke Wilson Kipketer’s long standing 800m record with a new mark of 1:41.09.

And just yesterday he once again lowered the record to 1:41.01, in a meet in Reiti, Italy.

With time on his side, it won’t be a surprise if the 800m timing is again lowered by the 21-year-old, hopefully a sub 1:41.
