David Rudisha In My Life

I chose David Rudisha because I love athletics and it is a huge part of my life and has been throughout my life. My favourite and best event is the 800m run.

Some other characteristics he displays are a strong dislike against cheating and those who cheat which is very admirable in the sporting
