His 3000 m steeplechase best of 7:55.76 set at Monaco in 2011 places him as the sixth fastest of all time . This time is also the fastest non-winning time in history . He is one of only four men to have won both Olympic and World golds in the event , along with Reuben Kosgei , Brimin Kipruto and Conseslus Kipruto . He is the only multiple gold medalist in both . He is the only athlete to have won four world championships in the steeplechase ( which he won consecutively ) , and only the second athlete to win two Olympic titles in the event ( after Volmari Iso-Hollo ) .
The athletics competitions at the 2012 Olympic Games in London were held during the last 10 days of the Games , on 3-12 August . Track and field events took place at the Olympic Stadium in east London . The road events , however , started and finished on The Mall in central London . Over 2,000 athletes from 201 nations competed in 47 events in total , with both men and women having a very similar schedule of events . Men competed in 24 events and women in 23 , of which 21 were the same for both . The women 's schedule lacked the 50 km race walk and included 100 m hurdles and heptathlon as opposed to the men 's 110 m hurdles and decathlon . The youngest participant in the athletics competition was Andorran 15-year-old Cristina Llovera while the oldest was 46-year-old Ukrainian Oleksandr Dryhol . South African Oscar Pistorius became the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics .
The Men 's 3000 metres steeplechase competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London , United Kingdom . The event was held at the Olympic Stadium on 3-5 August . The steeplechase has become a national event of Kenya . Their team tactics dominate major championship races . For the first 5 laps , they let others dominate the lead , primarily led by Americans Donald Cabral and Evan Jager . Then the Kenyans decided to move as a team , leaving the field to chase . With less than 800 metres to go , Ugandan Benjamin Kiplagat got tangled up on a barrier and fell flat on his face , the runners behind him having to scramble . 200 metres later , Kenyan Brimin Kipruto fell . Though he quickly scrambled to his feet , that effectively ruined the chances for a Kenyan sweep . Still the other two led through the final lap . Former gold medalist and multiple world champion Ezekiel Kemboi pulled away off the front . As Abel Mutai began to falter , Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad sprinted past to repeat his silver medal .
David Lekuta Rudisha , MBS ( born 17 December 1988 ) is a Kenyan middle-distance runner . He is the 2012 and 2016 Olympic champion , 2-time World Champion ( 2011 and 2015 ) , and world record holder in the 800 metres . Rudisha is the first and only person to ever run under 1:41 for the event , and he holds the three fastest , six of the eight fastest , and half of the twenty fastest times ever run in this event . He also holds the world 's best time in the 500m , with a time of 57.69 , [ a ] and the African record for the 600m , with a time of 1:13.10 . Rudisha has won a record 3 consecutive Track & Field Athlete of the Year awards ( tied with Carl Lewis ) , and also won the IAAF World Athlete of the Year award in 2010 .
The Men 's 800 metres competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London , United Kingdom , was held at the Olympic Stadium on 6-9 August . Reigning world champion David Rudisha won the race in 1:40.91 , becoming the first person to break 1:41 and improving on his own world record ( the first world record in an Olympic men 's 800m final since 1976 ) . The reigning world junior champion Nigel Amos finished second in 1:41.73 , establishing a new world junior record and Botswana national record . In an exceptionally fast final , all runners except Abubaker Kaki ( who ran a seasonal best ) set personal bests , including three national records ( Kenya , Botswana , and Ethiopia ) . The finishing times were the fastest recorded for each placing and it constituted the first time that eight athletes ran under 1:44 in the same race . All the athletes in the race produced times that would have won the final in Beijing . The eighth-place finisher , Andrew Osagie , produced a time that would have won the gold medal at all but three of the previous Olympic 800m finals . Rudisha led from the start of the race , easing from lane 4 to the break with a determined Kaki in tow . By the halfway mark in 49.28 Mohammed Aman lined up off Kaki 's shoulder . During the next 200 meters , Rudisha put a gap on the field and Kaki began falling back . The scramble was on to see who had anything left or , like Kaki , who would pay the price . As Rudisha showed the strain of his effort , Nigel Amos and Timothy Kitum started to make up a little of the ground Rudisha had built up .
