David Rudisha of Kenya won the men’s 800 metres Olympic title on Thursday in a stunning world record of 1min 40.91sec.
The 23-year-old world champion pulled five metres clear of Nijel Amos of Botswana after taking control of the race from an early stage on a warm night in the Olympic Stadium in east London.
He charged down the home straight as the capacity crowd rose to their feet and crossed the line in a time which shaved a tenth of a second off the world record he set two years ago.
