Rudisha Ni Mchawi! See How “King David” Made Other Athletes Sweat Profusely As He Comfortably Won Kenya Its Second Gold In Rio Olympics (Video)

Rudisha ni moto ya kuotea mbali. His long strides propelled him to victory in Rio, you should have seen the faces of his competitors trying to catch up with him!

Men’s 800m finals were held at 4am Kenyan time. A total of 8 athletes were on the track competing for three medals.

Three Kenyans made it to the finals of 800m; Alfred Kipketer, Nicholas Kiplangat Kipkoech and “King David”.

Rudisha was on lane 5, he was all composed as he waited for the gunshot to signal the start of the race. The race finally started and it was Alfred Kipketer who took the lead as he sprinted like Usain Bolt at the sound of the gunshot.

Kipketer comfortably led the first lap, he even managed to keep a safe distance between him and Rudisha who was on his trail.

But at the sound of a bell which signaled the final lap, Rudisha blew past Kipketer who was burning up like an old Isuzu on a steep vertical ascent in Sachangwan.

Rudisha’s long strides acted like some sort of turbo thrusters, he opened a huge gap between him and the man who finished second.

Kipketer was nowhere within the medal bracket, four athletes passed him while he struggling to fire up his ‘rockets’ to push him forward.

Rudisha cut the tape in 1 minute 42.15 seconds, he was followed by an Algerian and an American took the third spot.

“I dedicate this win to all my fans all over the world and above all to my country; Kenya. To all those who woke up at 4am to watch the race and for all your steadfast support throughout the years.” Wrote Rudisha after winning his second consecutive Olympic 800m gold medal.
