Kenya’s David Rudisha successfully defends his 800m Olympic crown

The Kenyan becomes only the 4th man to win back-to-back 800m titles as he successfully defended his Olympic crown in 1.42.15. With this second gold, he is also the first man to retain the title in 52 years.

In his words: 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. ‪#‎TeamRudisha‬ ‪#‎TeamKenya‬.
