DAEGU, South Korea Aug 30 (Reuters) – World record holder David Rudisha of Kenya won gold in the men’s 800 metres at the world championships on Tuesday with a dominant display of front running.
The rangy Rudisha, who broke the world record twice in a week in 2010, took the title in Daegu in a time of 1:43.91 ahead of Abubaker Kaki of Sudan.
The bronze medal went to Russian Yuriy Borzakovskiy.
Rudisha is unbeaten over the distance in two years, his last loss coming when he failed to qualify for the 2009 world championship final in Berlin.
