Emmanuel Wanyonyi Makes Major Statement as He Clocks World Lead at Stockholm Diamond League
Emmanuel Wanyonyi made it clear that he is still the man to beat when he clocked a world leading time as he won the 800m race at Stockholm Diamond League.
It was the fifth sub-1:42 in his career with only world record holder the legendary David Rudisha having done it more, after dipping under 1:42 seven times.
The 20-year-old is seen as the man to beat for the World Championships gold in Tokyo in September but he is not entertaining that talk until he makes certain improvements to his game.

Elaine Thompson-Herah: Jamaicans Left Worried as Fastest Woman Alive Fails to Register for World Championships Trials
Jamaicans are feeling the heat following Elaine Thompson-Herah’s absence from the National Championships set to select the team for the 2025 World Championships.
“I was delighted to have run under 1:42 in such a short turnaround from my last race and there are some positives to pick. But, heading back home, I want to work a bit more on my speedwork and improve my finishing,” he added on the areas to work on.
Wanyonyi, who holds the second fastest time in history, has been tipped to break David Rudisha’s world record but has consistently shrugged off that talk, opting to focus on one race at a time.
His personal best of 1:41.11 clocked in Lausanne last August is only bettered by Rudisha’s world record of 1:40.91 set at the 2012 London Olympics.
