Wanyonyi sets even better personal record just two weeks after clinching Olympic gold as he coasts to victory in the Lausanne Diamond League classic
Emmanuel Wanyonyi is itching even closer to getting to equal David Rudisha’s record as he coasted to victory in the 800m of the Laussane Diamond League classic on Thursday night.
Wanyonyi, who was participating in his first meet since his Olympic heroics in Paris a fortnight ago, sailed to victory 1:41.19, taking off a fraction of the record he set when he delivered gold at that event.
