Men's 800 m

Rudisha was sensational but the 2nd and 3rd places went to teenagers. The times these guys ran were unbelievable for teenagers. Those who tried this event will know what I'm talking 'bout.

It took 31 years for the 800M record to drop 8/10th second. Coe: 1:41.73 (1981). Rudisha: 1:40.91 (2012). Silver medalist, Amos, who turned 18 last March, equaled Coe's 1981 time.  Maybe we're looking at a sub-1:40 800M in the near future?
