The 800m world recorder, Kenya’s David Rudisha hopes to make a return to track soon.
Rudisha, the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympics 800m champion, disclosed on Monday that he had a successful surgery on Saturday that will pave way for his return.
“I am glad that on Saturday 20th, I had a successful surgery of the removal of an implant on my left leg that has been there for the last one-and-half-years,” disclosed Rudisha on his official social media pages.
“At least I will be back soon doing some running!,” said Rudisha, who also has recovered from a back injury.
Rudisha, the 2011 Daegu and 2015 Beijing World 800m champion, has not competed since July 2017 after he sustained a back injury.
He broke his own World Record posting a new time of 1:40.91 when winning the Olympic title at the 2012 London Summer Games. BY DAILY NATION
