David Rudisha won his first Olympic gold medal with the kind of world-record performance that has made him almost unbeatable the last three years. The 23-year-old Kenyan won Thursday's final in 1 minute, 40.91 seconds, shaving one-tenth of a second off the mark he set in 2010, and setting the first world record on the track at the London Olympics. After crossing the line, he flung up both arms to celebrate, then draped himself in a national flag and posed for photographs near the timing clock with "NEW WR" on it. Nigel Amos of Botswana, the world junior champion, took silver in a national record 1:41.73 and Timothy Kitum of Kenya got the bronze in 1:42.53.
