However, the genial 23-year-old star said he opted to come to the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon because he sincerely believed that his visit here could inspire youngsters to strive hard for glory.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to media persons at the ADHM media center at the J N Stadium, Rudisha said he was impressed by the wonderful stadium and its facilities and so no reason why Indians could not emerge on the biggest stage, considering that athletes from much poorer African and other countries have managed to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s mass-participation high profile events like this that help generate interest in sport and one just cannot say when a real talent will be found,\u201d said Rudisha.<\/p>\n<p>He had words of advice for Indian athletics and said, \u201cit\u2019s not impossible for Indians to do well in world athletics. They just need the right facilities and a good coach. A right coach can do half the job of an athlete.\u201d While speaking on the prospects of our Indian elite track and road athletes, David stressed that they should work hard to try and improve their pace on the track.<\/p>\n<p>Conversation veered to his world record run at the Olympics and Rudisha said that was the most wonderful moment of his entire life. \u201cI went to London to just win the gold medal. I was a world record holder, set at the 2011 World IAAF Championships, and only the Olympic medal was missing. I told my manager James during the warm-ups that if I finish first 400m in 49 secs, I can push in the last 400 to finish the race in 1:41mins,\u201d Rudisha stated and added, \u201cBut I didn\u2019t know whether I can set the world record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rudisha belongs to a country that has produced many great athletes, but he still received a huge welcome at Nairobi airport after winning the 2011 IAAF World Championships. A slow possession of 50 cattle escorted the new star in Nairobi. Rudisha was overwhelmed with this love and respect from his countrymen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m from the Masai community, which hasn\u2019t produced enough international level athletes. Most of the athletes come from high altitude. So the welcome was very special for me,\u201d said Rudisha. \u201cIn our community, 22-year-old men are considered as warriors. So they say that I kill a lion by breaking the world record,\u201d Rushida added.<\/p>\n<p>Like Usain Bolt, Rushida is also fond of cricket. He believes that the game is popular and infrastructural boost will improve the performance of their cricket team. About today\u2019s ICC World T20 match between India and Australia, he predicted: \u201cIndia will win. I am big fan of Indian team. They will surely beat Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>New Delhi<\/strong>: Basking in the aftermath of his scintillating 800m run at the London Olympics that shocked the athletics world and set a new world record, David Rudisha is a much sought after personality the world over.
