 Rudisha was only a semi-finallist at last year's World Championships
|
Kenyan David Rudisha broke the men's 800m world record in a time of one minute 41.09 seconds at the IAAF World Challenge in Berlin on Sunday.
The previous record of 1:41.11 was set by Denmark's Kenyan-born Wilson Kipketer in Cologne in 1997.
Rudisha, 21, broke the record in the German capital's Olympic Stadium.
It is a huge improvement from his efforts in the same stadium in 2009, when he reached only the semi-finals of the 800m at the World Championship.
