On Saturday March 21, he continued his clean record in Australia when he won the 800m. It was his second succesive win in 7 days. But this time he did not win as easily as he had done in the previous week.<\/p>\n<p>He had to fend two determined Australians, Alex Rowe and Jeff Risely. Row chased Rudisha closely for 600m before the co-Australian record-holder gave way. Then Jeff Riseley too over the chase and started to close down Rudisha around the final bend. However Rudisha found another gear to win comfortably enough in 1:44.94. Risely was second in 1:45.29.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/athletics\"><br \/>\nBack to Kenya Athletics Page<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/kenya-athletics-news-3\/rudisha-wins-in-melbourne\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenyan Olympic champion David Rudisha always starts his season in Australia.
