If you have followed Rudisha's career you will know just how smart he and Brother Colm have managed. They have perfected the art of strategy to get the most out of what they know is short career. I remember Rudisha articulating exactly what that strategy was way back in 2011 and what has followed is perfect execution of that strategy.

In 2010 they had worked on getting him to run fast which he did by breaking the world record twice.

In 2011 the plan was to win a world championship which they did. This was important for Rudisha because he had been fast since 2006 but had no title so they had to work on getting a title and this meant concentrating not just on running fast but controlling the race by running at the front.

In 2012 the plan was to combine both fast running and championship running and they did this in spectacular fashion by winning the Olympic gold in world record time.

He missed 2013 due to injury and this 2015 win is just another testament to how mature this guy is as a competitive athlete in body and mind. If you look at his buildup, he ran both the slowest heats and slowest semi finals to save his best for last because he knew he is not in his best form yet planned it in such a way that he got the best result.

Kwani China iko waphi?
The table looks like epl table on the last week preceding opening matches.

I am hearing on Radio Trottoir eti a Kenyan was busted for EPO. Wahiga Mwaura is on Twitter telling everyone. There was a Kenyan who was inexplicably scrached from her semi final. I wonder if this was why. I hope it is not true. Please don't let it be true. People will start saying eti this is why Kenya is atop the charts.

That must be Zackary, damn!!!!
