The commentator sounds like those football commentators from Brazil.


Reckon he'll dip into 1:40

The Rieti track is a middle distance athlete's paradise and in his current form he was always going to break his own mark.Going down to the 1.40s is the next goal.

Congrats are in order to Rudisha. As someone said, breaking a world record is no joke. I hope no one is imagining that for the last 13 years nobody was interested in breaking the record or the athletes were not good enough. Ni kibarua!!!

You can bet all your paka and Olympia shares [You can even add the ones for the majority share holder (vvs)] that Rudisha is one of the most tested athletes at the moment! And in any case, our world beaters do it the good old way - through hard work!

Hiyo madaha ndiyo inaleta mkwanja! That is one of the reasons Usain Bolt is the highest paid track and field athlete in history [From his Puma deal] - in addition to his speed of course. You can actually use him/his image to push your product

What Kenyan athletes don't seem to understand is that you make more money from endorsements than from the sport itself. You need to market yourself. For example, out of the approx. $100m Tiger Woods has made in 2010, more than $90m is from endorsements!!!

I'd like to know what percentage of the earnings for Kenyan athletes comes from endorsements. Who knows how much Mariga was paid for the UAP deal for example? Might even be less than a milli!!!

and the jamaa is a maasai...kumbe pia wamaasai wako na wanaweza kimbia....mpaka wanafunja recodi za dunia???

Wapi wengine???

Congrats Rudisha!!
