🇨🇦’s newest silver medallist Marco Arop thinks we are close to history… and he’d like to write it. ✍️
David Rudisha’a 800m WR of 1:40.91 has stood for 12 years. Until this year, fans considered Rudisha’s record untouchable.
Arop just became the fourth-fastest man in history.
MARCO AROP… 1️⃣:4️⃣1️⃣.2️⃣0️⃣
Olympic silver medalist and he took a second and a half off his national record!
FIFTH-FASTEST ALL TIME 🌎
Unbelievable.

Two words: Incredible race.
Moh Ahmed did everything he could. Track and field is a sport that comes down to the hundredths of seconds.
Gutsy race from the greatest distance runner in 🇨🇦 history.
