Daughter inspired me to win
David Rudisha has become the first man to defend the Olympic 800m title since New Zealand's Peter Snell in 1964.
The Kenyan athlete came into the Rio Olympics as the current World Champion, but had struggled during the national trials.
Speaking to Sport Today, Rudisha explains how it was his daughters words of "next time you go and compete make sure you win" that inspired him.
