Two-time Olympic champion and 800-meter world record holder David Rudisha is hailed for his achievements on and off the track. The athlete has, however, escaped death by a whisker after surviving two near-fatal accidents in the past three years. The pilot did an incredible job to keep the plane afloat and stable for long,” Rudisha told Nation. Rudisha had decided not to compete in the world championships while recovering from quad and back injuries prior to the car accident. “He will not return from injury in time for Kenya’s world championships trials, which means he will miss worlds in Doha in one month too,” his manager stated.
