Olympics 2012

[quote user="gardengirl "]Amongst my favourite Olympic moments - Kenyan David Rudisha's win in the 800 metres in a world record time  as well as the gold medal. He did far more than he needed to win. Really poetry in motion!

My sentiments exactly

Since 1979 there have only been 3 world record holders: Coe(79-97), Kipketa(the great Danish runner 97-2010), Rudisha

It is the most difficult record to break. My No1 son is a pretty good sprinter, and he manages 1 lap, flat out in 51s (and he's normally sick afterwards) Rudisha does 2 laps 50s each...I have total respect for the man. Watch the 5km on saturday night, it's frightening when you watch them do the last lap in around 48s.
