Marco Arop has shifted his focus from chasing David Rudisha’s world record to prioritising medals.
At a time like this last season, Marco Arop and his team were laying out a plan, ‘Project 99’, to focus on David Rudisha’s 800m world record.
The world record stands at 1:40.91 and was set by David Rudisha at the 2012 London Olympic Games and the only athlete to get near the record in recent memory is Emmanuel Wanyonyi.
The reigning Olympic 800m champion clocked an impressive 1:41.11 to win the Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne, just days after the Paris Olympic Games.

Marco Arop’s coach revealed that their main focus will be on winning medals rather than going for the world record.
He explained that for this season, Marco Arop has focus on defending his world title as he also pointed out that the LA 2028 Olympic Games are in sight especially after he lost the gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
"Project 99 is a passion project for us. I don't want us to get so caught up in trying to break the world record that we lose sight of defending the world championship title, getting to L.A. in 2028 with intentions of winning it and redeeming ourselves from Paris,” Marco Arop’s coach said as per CBC Sport.
