David Lekuta Rudisha of Kenya celebrates claiming gold in the men's 800 metres final
Athletics history is full of great rivalries. Even within just the middle-distance events, the pairings of Hagg vs Anderson, Coe vs Ovett, and Aouita vs Cram have been etched on the memories of athletics fans for decades.



Now the men's 800m has David Rudisha and Abubaker Kaki, whose five-year friendly rivalry reached a climax tonight in Daegu with their tenth meeting in a final. Making their on-going battle more exciting, Rudisha's victory in 1:43.91 brought their head-to-head tally to five a piece.



Afterwards, Rudisha admitted that the main reason why he trains so hard is to stay ahead of his great Sudanese opponent.



"Abubaker and I started racing together back when I was still running 400 metres and I got near him there," he said. "Then we were together at the 2006 World Juniors in Beijing and we had a great race together. Also on the European circuit we have been competing together and I respect him because he is so, so tough.



"He has also been the reason why when I go back home I have to train hard because if I don't then I know he is going to give me a challenge," added Rudisha. "That's very important because athletics is a competition and I respect him for being there.
