The Kenyan who was born in Kovai in 1988, and trained at the St. Francis Kimuron Secondary School in Iten, is today the new World record holder in the 800m in 1:41.01. This talented athlete was initially a 400m runner (400m PB 45.5), while his coach, Colm O'Connell, promoted him to the 800m. In 2006, he became the World Juniors Champion over that distance. His father, Daniel Rudisha, won the silver medal in 1968 at the Olympics as part of the Kenyan 4x400m Relay team.
In September 2009, Rudisha won the IAAF Grand Prix meeting in Italy setting a new African Record of 1:42.01, beating the 25 years old record of 1:42.28 set by Sammy. One year later, he competed at the Samsung Diamond League

Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay were performing tonight (06/08/10) in Stockholm for the Samsung Diamond league (stage 11), where Tyson won the race in 9.84s, when behind him was Usain Bolt in 9.97s! Bolt ran his semi-final in 10.10s, where Gay did it in 10.02s. Its the first time in 3 years that the unbeatable Bolt loses. Will it happen again? We also note the absence of Asafa Powell who announced yesterday his withdrawal, because of his injuries which don't allow him to even finish the race.

For
almost 30years, Lebanon has received no medals in athletics for the Arab
School Championship, first, because there is no future plan to educate
our young people to love the sport and athletics in particular, and
second, because we don't give athletics its importance being the mother
and the base of all sports.
On the other
hand, in the 18th Arab School Championships and after so many years,
Lebanon has finally rekindle the flame, that was almost extinguished,
with a silver medal for Maria-Pia Rahme (youth 2) in the Javelin throw,
with a throw at 28m50, and a bronze medal for the 4x100
meters relay team with a new national record for youth
category, Krystel Saneh (youth 1), Celine Keyrouz (midget 2), Christelle

Qatar's promising champion Mutaz Issa Barshim, was able during this season to break the Arab juniors record many times
in international tournaments, where he scored the first time in April in
Kuwait in the GCC Tournament for Juniors 2.21m and then broke it in
Cairo in the Arab Championship for Juniors in May (2.23m), and the record in Sweden July 7 (2.25m). At the Asian Games, he set again a new Arab record for juniors by jumping 2m31. His intention in Moncton 2010 was to be the first Qatari to bring a Gold medal in World Championships, then he actually did by flying over the 2m30 high jump bar. This record is also considered as
Qatari standard record for juniors and seniors. Issa succeeded also
during his training camp in Sweden in February to break Qatari indoor
record for juniors and seniors (2.25m). Finally he breaks the Arab record 4 times and the juniors and seniors also, and 1 record in the indoor for juniors and seniors, 14 records this season. What's next Mutaz? An Olympic title in London 2012?
