The following article on Rudisha's dad is classic:http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/sports/InsidePage.php?id=2000016669&cid=39&story=Senior%20Rudisha%20proud%20of%20sonIt made me realize that I had totally had forgotten that David Rudisha's dad won a silver in the 4 x 400 at the 1968 Games.Kenya used to be great at the 4 x 400. Does anyone know how fast they've run recently?I loved the following quote from the article:
The Standard:
"My television had a small mechanical problem and since I’m struggling with arthritis and partial loss of eyesight, I restrict my movements not very far from my house," the former quarter miler disclosed.
"The nearest television is a distance away and I could not go there to watch. But soon after, my neighbours started running into my compound to break the news and I felt very excited."
