Rieti, Italy – At this evening’s the IAAF World Challenge meeting in Rieti, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Kenyan David Rudisha, who lowered the World 800m record* last week in Berlin to a time of 1:41.09, further reduced the all-time best for two laps to 1:41.01*.
Paced by Sammy Tangui, as he was in his first successful record attempt, Rudisha today further buried the memory of Wilson Kipketer’s 1:41.11, a World record which had withstood all assaults until 8 days ago.
