Rieti Grand Prix 2010- Lagat sets 3000m American record
To everyone's amazement and wonder, in the women's 1500m race, Jamal Maryam Yusuf from Bahrain came in first with a creditable time of 3min 58.93sec with her country fellow runner Mimi Belete coming in second with a time of 4min 00.25sec.
In the 800m race, David Rudisha of Kenya came in first with a time of 1min 41.01sec. He was paced by his country runner by the name of Sammy Tangui for the first round. The time stood at 48.20sec for the first round. Sammy then pulled over after the first round. Later, it was Jackson Mumbwa Kivuva's job to push the pace as much as possible to enable David Rudisha to break the world record again. At the last 250 metres, it was left for David to do the work of breaking the record again.
