From the moment David Rudisha opened up over 400 with a 45.50<\/a> this outdoor season, he has looked capable of great things. A season opener of 1:43.15 simply confirmed that. This afternoon in Belgium Rudisha took the next step towards greatness with a sensational 1:41.52 over two laps that makes him the #2 man in history. Only Wilson Kipketer\u2019s WR runs of 1:41.11 and 1:41.24 are faster in history. And judging from today\u2019s run there is more in this young man. I dare say, that at 21 years old, we could be looking at the man who will be first to run under 1:41.00. Watch for yourself as he demolishes the field on his way to the #2 spot all time.<\/p>\n
