Just whenRugut was promoted to Sports Secretary Guy is already delivering Interesting times ahead

They need to be smart for maximum cash benefits. The rule says you get the prize for breaking the WR each time, you can do it more than once in the same tournament. So they should break it kidogo in the preliminaries, break it again kidogo in the semis, break it again kidogo in the finals, while leaving headroom for breaking it again in the next tournament. Sergei Bubka the pole vaulter used this strategy very effectively and made a ton of cheddar.

If it is the first ever, how are records being broken?

Not that i watched ,but that is the elder Rudisha ....the better relay runners i remember were David and Samson Kitur and Simon Kipkemboi .

These events have been performed before. In fact Kenya set the 4 X 800m record back in 2006.

However this is the very first time that there is a tournament called "world relay championships"

The Nigerian girls are good

Third victory for Kenya as Asbel Kiprop and Co smash the world record in 4x1500m. Bravo

That was tough. Tho the first 2 runners need some polishing up.... and we settle for 3 golds

For 800 both men and women a strong first leg where their is distance between the leader and the chasers ,and a dominant anchor is what kenya needs Where was ethiopia and russia . looks like relay events will be about kenya ,usa and jamaica
