However, he warned that for an athlete to own a race or do better in the 800m, they need to have mastered one style of running and avoid mixing up styles during competitions.
Speaking in an interview with Citius Mag, Rudisha noted that an athlete has to perfect one style of running and avoid mixing himself or herself up.
“The way guys are running the 800m at the moment shows that it’s wide open and anyone can win. No one has really dominated by winning and being consistent.
"Their running styles are also wanting because sometimes you see an athlete running from the front, sometimes from the middle, and sometimes from behind and it’s confusing.
