@mytime81, Sometimes our journalists like using words that they think are big even without knowing what they mean. Let' s work it out. Daniel Rudisha won the 4x400m relay silver in Mexico city in 1968. Let's just assume that he was 28. Of course 28 is way too old for an olympian but just play along. It means that he (waswould have been) born in 1940. That would mean that he is exactly 70 years old today. in order to be 80, he'd have competed for Kenya at the age of 38 which isjustnot realistic.
@SonNative Haha maybe it's you who doesn't know things, 28 is not way too old for an olympian. The 400m world record was set by a 31 year old... it's true though, 28 is older than average for an olympic 400 runner
@mytime81 I agree with you. These newscasters should do their research thoroughly. Daniel Rudisha was born on August 11, 1945. That puts his age at 65. He also won a silver medal as a member of the 4x400m relay team in 1968 and not a gold medal as it is stated here.

Is the reporter correct when she says Rudisha senior is an OCTOGENARIAN? I am not sure he is 80 yet.
