It\u2019s finally happened. Today in Berlin David Rudisha took down one of the most hallowed World Records in the sport as he turned two laps of the track in 1:41.09! I have yet to see the race or find any details other than the actual race results, but with second place a full three seconds behind it was clearly a solo effort on his part. Results state the rabbit took the field through in 48.65 for the first lap, which should have set Rudisha up for something around 49.0. <\/p>\n

Kipketer\u2019s record 1:41.11 had stood since August 24, 1997 \u2013 Rudisha  taking it down just two days short of it\u2019s 13th anniversary! AWESOME. Rudisha now has the #1 and #4 best 800\u2019s all time, both run this season.<\/p>\n

Note that in 4th place, miler Leonel Manzano continues his breakout season with a PR over 800 meters. Further bolstering what appears to be a rapidly improving US middle distance corps. <\/p>\n

More details on the race as they become available.<\/p>\n
