My god, just watched David Rudisha's 800m world record run. He totally destroyed the rest of the field.
Rudisha is unusual among Kenyan runners in that he's a Masai - most of the runners are Kalenjin. He may also be one of the first second-generation runners, as his father ran at the 1968 Olympics. And while I'm reeling off the facts, he also went to the famous St Patrick's school in Iten. They plant a tree in the grounds for every world champion that has been to the school. It's now a small forest.
