Rudisha sets new 800m world record

 David Rudisha broke a 13-year record

Kenya's David Rudisha smashed the men's 800 metres world record at an IAAF World Challenge meeting in Berlin on Sunday.
Rudisha's time of 1:41.09 surpassed the record that Wilson Kipketer set 13 years ago in Cologne.
It was a remarkable achievement that showed the extent of Rudisha's recent improvement - he only reached the semi-final of the event at the World Championships last year.
"I have the ability to improve and go faster," he said. "This was my first real attempt to break the world record, I knew I was good, I had trained hard."
