    Full highlights as Kenya's David Rudisha wins Gold in the Men's 800m Final and breaks the World Record with a time of 1.40.91 at London's Olympic Stadium.
    Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

    A small note on just how fast everyone was in this race.
    8th postion in this race was a whole second faster than the gold medal time in the tokyo 2020 olympics!

      @philomenaakpanaadie2015 2 ปีที่แล้ว +465

      Well, yeah, but the thing was, this race started quickly. Rudisha was aiming for a WR in 2012. No one was trying for such a thing this year. And no one really wanted the lead there, hence the 53.76 first lap. It's a bit unfair to compare those two races.

    This might be the greatest race ever run, when you look at the individual performances of each runner:
    There was a World Record, a World Junior Record, 3 National Records, 7 Personal Bests, and 1 Season Best set in this race!!
    Now in Nov 2019, the World Record and Junior World Record still stand, and 7 of the 8 men who ran that final, never ran faster again! Historic!

    There aren't enough superlatives to describe this race. I saw it live at age 15 and i've come back to watch it every year since. Simply put, there will never be a human better designed to race two laps around the track than Rudisha. It's an event where most of the records have had pacemakers, and the second lap usually a second or two slower. But he ran it wire to wire without anyone in sight and with nearly identical laps. Partially because of this race I became an 800 runner, and although I never broke 2 minutes, I loved it. It truly is an event for the masochists. You run just about as hard as you can...and then you still have to do another lap. You tie up in the last 150m and your legs feel like they're being crushed 5 miles beneath sea level and simultaneously being roasted inside the sun. If you're doing it correctly, you see double and your lungs feel like they're bleeding. When you get it wrong, you can barely move in the finishing straight and everyone passes you. Rudisha ran the absolute perfect half mile race anyone will ever do and he looked completely effortless. I'm not religious but watching this makes me believe in something!

I was twelve at this Olympics and it was a weird time for me to watch live as an Australian, but I remember watching this and immediately knowing this would be one of the most impactful track moments in history. His stride, his humility, the fearless competitors, the stunning stadium & crowd... This is an art form. To watch him succeed again in 2016 (despite a horrible lead-up) in similar fashion, to me, confirms Rudisha as a once-in-a-lifetime athlete who is perhaps the best of all time in this event.

    This has got to be one of the highest quality Olympic final distance races ever, or distance races in track & field ever, period. Nick Symmonds went through the 400m split in about 50.4 seconds...in last place! The last place finisher, Osagie, was 1:43.7. Rudisha's world record is one thing, but when someone runs 1:43 and finishes last, that is just incredible.

    • @daeuri

      I don't think you have to qualify it. This was the highest quality Olympic final we have ever seen. For Rudisha to set a world record at this distance when he had to run in heats is just nuts. The last place time would have won most Olympic finals. Can anyone name another Olympic race that has those distinctions?

On another note, I sometimes wished that Bolt would turn back and greet his opponents the way that Rudisha does.

      Yeah - I keep watching that point at the 500 where you look at the runners behind and they are caning it ( and straining) but not keeping up and Rudisha is going away effortlessly - he did fade a little over the last 150 but as he said his legs were tired from the earlier races but by then it was too late. When you see a world record after running so many races against quality fields before the final its truly impressive.

    I remember watching this at the time and crying. My Mum had heard on the Irish radio that we all had to watch this amazing Maasai runner trained by an Irishman who was just a missionary who went to Kenya in the 70s. Rudisha is an amazing athlete in a time of so many people cheating.

    i remember watching this back in 2012, with my campus mates and the moment he got to the bell and the commentator said its fast, we were up on our feet others on top of seats shouting world record coz we knew something special was about to unfold. And to think of it, no one was concerned about Kitum in 3rd only to realize later in the standings he was actually a bronze medalist was absolutely incredible. 4 years later i still comeback to this piece and it brings back the memories. Lovely!

    Rudisha's performance deserved a lot more recognition. I agree with Coe, I put it above Bolt's, who was far from the form of his 2008 or 2009 season.

    • @palootto4021
      @palootto4021 6 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      Why are so may people always trying to put everybody above Bolt. Rudisha is the greatest 800m runner ever and I greatly admire him, especially because this was my distance. However, how can he be above Bolt? Bolt does not run 800ms and furthermore, Bolt runs more races (100m, 200m, 4x100m) and is a champion in all at all times. Your logic is beyond irrational.

    • @TheSupermanFilms
