The pace was so devastating Amos was fighting to keep his form, and Rudisha... wow. I agree, Majestic is the only appropriate adjective to describe this spectacle.
Hey ... a "2:14" for 800 meters is really not too shabby; you gotta be moving pretty good to run that; that's two 67-second quarters; you don't realize how fast that is till you try to run it yourself!!!!!
1:40. That is amazing. I ran a 2:07 as a sophomore in high school and thought I was fast, lol. One hundred seconds to run eight hundred meters. That just blows my mind. Rudisha, you're the man!!!
In my experience, it's the second greatest track and field performance in history: Bob Beamon's other worldly leap in '68 still takes first place imho.
When you pull everyone behind you to new PB's, SB's, NR's, AR's ...then you know it was a special race!! This was amazing, no pacemaker and all. I think Emmanuel Korir has what it takes to break this...watch this space
This was a man who said, "If you want to beat me, come and catch me." Nobody deserved a gold medal more than Rudisha in this race. He was spectacular on this day.
This is an astonishing world record, considering the fact that the next "second" barrier had been destroyed. Sebastain Coe back in 1981 was the first man to run the 800m under 1:42, running a 1:41.73. That WR stood for 16 years until broken by Kipketer. That record stood for 13-14 years or so....until Rudisha. In this race, what I think is amazing is that the second place person tied Sebastian Coe's former WR (1:41.73). I wonder what Coe thought when he saw this race. It's not that often that second place either ties an old WR or even betters it.
I'm hazarding a guess but I reckon that there would be many events in which 2nd place ties or betters a world record from the early 1980s. Eg the first 5 across the line in the 100m sprint in London were faster than the 1983 WR. Sixth place was 1/100 of a second behind.
daveycard I remember when hitcham el g broke the mile record where the youngster in 2nd place also beat the previous record. Also when him and lagat both ran 3:26.1 and 3:26.2 respectively in the same1500m race. What about bolt running 9:58 and second placed tyson gay running 9.69 or 9.71 whilst looking as if he was miles behind (bare in mind that asafa powell's 9.77 WR was only a few years before and Usain bolt had ran 9.69 in beijing the previous year)
Coe rated this as the performance of the games, not just of the athletics campaign. He called it the "most extraordinary piece of running he had ever seen".
Thats because Coe set his world record on drugs, he knew just how amazing a feat Rudisha had accomplished. Coe was on a cocktail of drugs, research the 1980 and 1984 chemical games, the guy is as dishonest as Lance Armstrong, it wouldnt surprise me one bit if Coe had been a part of destroying the test samples in the chemical Olympics. He shouldnt be in charge of anything.
Actually the white guy was 5th lol in 2004 a russian won it, and the olympics before tjat a guy named niles did. Rudishas a beast because he's talented and trains hard not because he's simply african
He hasn't been caught but at any rate, we tend to be accusatory of the best runners, for several reasons, one of which is because the higher the level reached the more likely they are to be tested. We could have performances at the College level or even highschool level that could be enhanced in one way or another but they are far less likely to be caught since they are less likely to be tested. At any rate I cannot blame them even if they are. The pressure and motivation to get every possible edge, all the while suspecting others competing against you are doing just that.
Any distance trained for and competed to the best of one's ability is for that person "the hardest race". I am long distance runner and used to think my races were the hardest. They are ALL the hardest. I tried all the track events and the one I hated the most was the MILE. It completely scorched my throat. The 20 minutes after the mile race were far worse than the race itself. Therefore the mile for me is THE worst and most difficult race. Looks like I just totally contradicted myself there...oh well.
400m is the killer. My event, but I went longer. It just kills you. The top guys just run flat out for two laps. Even if you were given the body most guys couldn't take the pain.
Absolutely LOVED this video. I didn't think I would. I've watched this race 100 times with different commentators. But I loved the no talking, and never realized how much the crowd cheered throughout the entire race. It was as though they new history was going to be made that day.

I only ran 1:50 Good news is my college record still stands 36 years later. Having that record helped get me through a lot of low times ( God mainly got me through😊)
its good for a neighborhood level -compare yourself to the people in your class , if you are the best compare to the highschool , if you are the best compare to the city , if you are the best compare to the state .... keep going like that to know how good your time is
dude, let me tell you something. to run on that level is something no one can buy...it's achieved through years of hard work and dedication...have some respect.

If any of today's runners are going to break 1:40, Rudisha is the most likely to do it. He's amazing and still quite young. Perhaps it will happen in Rio.
Bill Montgomery: Your times are similar to mine from high school. But I improved in college and more so after. 55 and still running, though plenty slower now. The point is, keep going for the love and health of it. What better addiction could one ask for?
@@runcaz7802 your comment touches me. My dad is 55 and can't keep up with me when we run and I'm not even a good runner. I must treasure my youth to do as much sports as I can
I think he is from a different tribe to the distance runners ie not a Kalenjin living in the high mountains.He probably wouldn be great at cross country more of a 400 guy that stepped up.
but if you keep running , you will understand how much can you improve ,specially in this race , when you need strenght in your legs more than anywhere else in your body ...
Great friggin video! I like it better than the broadcast footage. You can see him drag the others through the race to great individual finishes. Rudisha is such a freak! Look at him. Stride length and frequency! Unbelievable! He is a big man too. Kenyans just are not built like him. He is an anomaly.
The pace was so devastating Amos was fighting to keep his form, and Rudisha... wow. I agree, Majestic is the only appropriate adjective to describe this spectacle.
Amos is always fighting to keep his form!
Previous 1:41.01
This video is faster than my 800 time.
Hey ... a "2:14" for 800 meters is really not too shabby; you gotta be moving pretty good to run that; that's two 67-second quarters; you don't realize how fast that is till you try to run it yourself!!!!!
What a beautiful camera angle. It really shows how long these guys can keep that insane pace up.
Dude truly and literally looked like he was running for his life, as if from something
1:40. That is amazing. I ran a 2:07 as a sophomore in high school and thought I was fast, lol. One hundred seconds to run eight hundred meters. That just blows my mind. Rudisha, you're the man!!!
What's more impressive is that his oppoents kept up
colossalko I kept expecting the gap to get wider, they got a lot heart to keep up, must of taxed the hell out of their body
Exactly! I think the last guy would have won gold in the previous olympics!!!!
Looked like the very LAST guy ran right at "1:43.0"!!!!! Those times are INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@pkmr5284 Yep, Nick Symonds ran his PB in that race I think, and it would have been good enough to run gold in 202 Olympics I think. Just amazing!
sit and kick bison
I've been an avid track and field fan for 40 years, this is the greatest performance I've ever seen
Osman Butt bayi race better
I ahev to agree with you. I had goose bumps when i watched it as it happened in 2012. It is no less amazing 6 years later.
that'll be Bekele's 10000m WR.
In my experience, it's the second greatest track and field performance in history: Bob Beamon's other worldly leap in '68 still takes first place imho.
@@adamd4390 Yes Bayi race better but this was goodn

He shouldnt be in charge of anything.
Plus the silver medalist was only 18 years old. Stunning.
I was there to watch it! The best race of The Games. The crowd went OFF at the end! Amazing.
This is actually my favourite video of this historic race. Great angle, wonderful to watch,
Rudisha is ridiculously strong. He never broke form once!
Amazing story of a humble Kenyan. His father was also a medalist in the 1960s. Great for both! Think his record still stands after all these years...
The time of this video is faster than my 800...
Jean-Philippe. that is a fantastic video mate. thank you.
Best video iv ever seen of a track event. What a view. The athletes view as they cross the line. Gorgeous video. Gorgeous runner. Priceless!!
is that daddy symmonds in the back?
Actually the white guy was 5th lol in 2004 a russian won it, and the olympics before tjat a guy named niles did. Rudishas a beast because he's talented and trains hard not because he's simply african
RSCD3: Thank you, Totally agree.
Duane Solomon almost got that bronze. Greatest race ever.
I thought a 1:58 was good, but that's still 18 seconds behind this guy. Some people are just amazing.
+Xander Armstrong or they use performance enhancing drugs

They wil finish and you will be at the 680m😂
800 the man's race.. too long to sprint, too short to pace... gotta go hard all the way
Gotta say:
400m, 600m and 800m are by far the hardest race.
Any distance trained for and competed to the best of one's ability is for that person "the hardest race". I am long distance runner and used to think my races were the hardest. They are ALL the hardest.
I tried all the track events and the one I hated the most was the MILE. It completely scorched my throat. The 20 minutes after the mile race were far worse than the race itself. Therefore the mile for me is THE worst and most difficult race.

post_weigh_in much less painless compared to 5 or 10k tho
400m is the killer. My event, but I went longer. It just kills you. The top guys just run flat out for two laps. Even if you were given the body most guys couldn't take the pain.
One of the best things to happen in 2012. No doubt.

Rudisha's 800m: approximately 329 steps, more than 2.43m/step.
I only ran 1:50
Good news is my college record still stands 36 years later. Having that record helped get me through a lot of low times ( God mainly got me through😊)
Symmonds' final kick started too late. He may have been able to move up a few spots. He was still powering forward at the finish.
its good for a neighborhood level

Imagine running 1:43 and getting LAST PLACE!

He did win in Rio,but didnt break his record
🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
49.28 first lap :O I'll be lucky if I can get my 400 relay split down to that by the end of high school.
Not bad. If you keep running you will hack off huge seconds with more training. My guess is you didn't run much or at all before your P.E. run?
One of the best races I´ve ever seen
Such huge strides
Magnifique! And the run wasn't bad either.
That is so unreal and you're just a whole different person running that time in a 800m and Rudisha did it like it was nothing.
Cancel Justin Blackface Trudeau.
Did this in PE today, I'm 12 is 2 mins 53 secs good?
rapidrock 00 That is excellent for age 12!
I ran a mile under 5 minutes as a freshman, is that good?
that's disgustingly fast
Imagine running 1:43.77 -- and finishing last!
Trump 2020. His vision is perfect.
It's the purest sport there is. Just wish the shoes were cheaper.
best track win of 2012
I wish I could do that my this year was my first and last year running cause I am a senior and my best time was a 2:24 and my mile a 5:24

I have never heard anyone say a single bad thing about David Rudisha. A true Olympic champion.
I think he is from a different tribe to the distance runners ie not a Kalenjin living in the high mountains.He probably wouldn be great at cross country more of a 400 guy that stepped up.

Very well shot for an amateur video. Congratulations... 💐📹
Very fast race, with strong-long step and excellent speed-endurance of David Rudisha! 👑👑👑
David Rudisha is one of the most humble people on the planet... saw him on an interview...
but if you keep running , you will understand how much can you improve ,specially in this race , when you need strenght in your legs more than anywhere else in your body ...
Rudisha has beautiful strides.
He runs a beautiful and majestic race.
You couldn't keep up with that guy for 10 steps
staggering! Last man would have won gold in the previosu olympics!
Why would Nijel Amos run like this🤣
Howmuch hardwork we can't even imagine
Don't sleep on Amos either. He's only 18 I can see him trimming down a second off his pb.
One of the greatest ever performances in modern times. Rudisha simply destroyed his opponents
His name is Nick Symmons and he didn't come in last?
The white dude didn't get last! it's a miracle!!
Thank u for share this video😍👍👍
What a strong field, DAAAMN
He is definitely a sprinter type, tons of fast twitch muscles as we all witnessed.
Just as dirty as women's 1500m
+1000000 most definately. I hope this dude breaks the 1:40 barrier.
