Kenya's David Rudisha repeated as the Olympic champion in the men's 800-meter race Monday at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Rudisha's final time of one minute, 42.15 seconds was slower than the mark he set in London in 2012 (1:40.91), but it was enough to secure a first-place finish ahead of Algeria's Taoufik Makhloufi. Clayton Murphy delivered a bronze medal to the United States.
