Wanyonyi beats Arop but Rudisha's world record remains intact
Briefly

David Rudisha's 800m world record from the London 2012 Games remains untouched after a strong attempt by athletes like Marco Arop and Emmanuel Wanyonyi, who both came close during the Diamond League final.
Marco Arop's attempt to break Rudisha's record at the Diamond League final was bold; he raced hard through the final laps but succumbed to exhaustion, ultimately finishing third in a dramatic finish.
Wanyonyi's victory at 1:42.70 showcased his developing prowess, as he became the third fastest runner in history, proving that even near-record attempts can yield competitive results.
Despite a strong season and rapid times from 800m runners, breaking Rudisha's long-standing record continues to elude the current generation as competitive races finish with thrilling developments.
