Emmanuel Wanyonyi, the young Kenyan Olympic champion, came within twenty hundredths of the 800m world record of his compatriot David Rudisha at the Lausanne meeting on Thursday. With a time of 1:41.11, he became the second best performer in the history of the discipline, tied with the Dane Wilson Kipketer. Wanyonyi also improved his personal best by eight hundredths.
