This might be the greatest race ever run, when you look at the individual performances of each runner: There was a World Record, a World Junior Record, 3 National Records, 7 Personal Bests, and 1 Season Best set in this race!! Now in Nov 2019, the World Record and Junior World Record still stand, and 7 of the 8 men who ran that final, never ran faster again! Historic!

Well, yeah, but the thing was, this race started quickly. Rudisha was aiming for a WR in 2012. No one was trying for such a thing this year. And no one really wanted the lead there, hence the 53.76 first lap. It's a bit unfair to compare those two races.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe this race. I saw it live at age 15 and i've come back to watch it every year since. Simply put, there will never be a human better designed to race two laps around the track than Rudisha. It's an event where most of the records have had pacemakers, and the second lap usually a second or two slower. But he ran it wire to wire without anyone in sight and with nearly identical laps. Partially because of this race I became an 800 runner, and although I never broke 2 minutes, I loved it. It truly is an event for the masochists. You run just about as hard as you can...and then you still have to do another lap. You tie up in the last 150m and your legs feel like they're being crushed 5 miles beneath sea level and simultaneously being roasted inside the sun. If you're doing it correctly, you see double and your lungs feel like they're bleeding. When you get it wrong, you can barely move in the finishing straight and everyone passes you. Rudisha ran the absolute perfect half mile race anyone will ever do and he looked completely effortless. I'm not religious but watching this makes me believe in something!

His stride, his humility, the fearless competitors, the stunning stadium & crowd... This is an art form. To watch him succeed again in 2016 (despite a horrible lead-up) in similar fashion, to me, confirms Rudisha as a once-in-a-lifetime athlete who is perhaps the best of all time in this event.

It is not good for everybody to be the same. The world is full of colors and we need people to be different. Bolt does his poses, which is good for the hype of the sport. However, I personally prefer the humility of Rudisha. Some people may prefer the antics of Bolt. So, we need the variety. On another note, I sometimes wished that Bolt would turn back and greet his opponents the way that Rudisha does.

Rudisha and Alyson Felix are such a joy to watch when they run. Probably the most graceful runners I have ever seen.

From this video, I can see how being humble can take you very far. Somebody look at the way Rudisha was behaving before the race. He was the most humble and composed athlete. God bless you Rudisha.

like Bolt in the 100m, kipchogei in the marathon, rodisha is what a lab would produce if they had to make a middle distance runner: tall, lean yet muscular, long legs and the most perfect running form you can imagine. amazing specimen

Truly remarkable. When someone like that comes along and makes others perform greater.. An entire field surpassing what most think is possible. You watch the olympics for great competition, but also for the chance that someone truly remarkable, or someones, might make their presence known on the world stage.

I always find my self coming back to this race, it’s perfection.

I remember watching this at the time and crying. My Mum had heard on the Irish radio that we all had to watch this amazing Maasai runner trained by an Irishman who was just a missionary who went to Kenya in the 70s. Rudisha is an amazing athlete in a time of so many people cheating.

Yeah - I keep watching that point at the 500 where you look at the runners behind and they are caning it ( and straining) but not keeping up and Rudisha is going away effortlessly - he did fade a little over the last 150 but as he said his legs were tired from the earlier races but by then it was too late. When you see a world record after running so many races against quality fields before the final its truly impressive.

The 800 is the hardest event in my opinion

Gotta feel a bit for Amos here. Imagine what he must have thought after running that time at his age. He must have thought he'd break the record. To think he's still one of the world leading 800m runners and still hasn't surpassed this time that he ran at 18 years old.

It was also likely that he wasn’t actually 18 during this race, it happens a lot with East African runners as many don’t keep track of exactly how old they are and I know for a fact that the national Kenyan track committee encourages the athletes to roam on the younger side of that margin of error to dominate the world Junior championships.

Why are so may people always trying to put everybody above Bolt. Rudisha is the greatest 800m runner ever and I greatly admire him, especially because this was my distance. However, how can he be above Bolt? Bolt does not run 800ms and furthermore, Bolt runs more races (100m, 200m, 4x100m) and is a champion in all at all times. Your logic is beyond irrational.
