[Jonah Onyango, Standard]It remains a riddle on who will ascend to the throne and succeed ‘King’ David Rudisha in 800m at the Olympic Games. But they have a mountain to climb against Botswana’s 2012 Olympic 800m silver medallist Nijel Amos. They include former world record holder Kenyan-born-Dane Wilson Kipketer, former Africa champion Sammy Kosgei and 2008 Olympic champion Wilfred Bungei. There is also 2008 Olympic 800m champion Janeth Jepkosgei and Henry Rono, who broke four world records in 1978. They include 1987 world championships sensation Stephen Ole Marai and two-time world 800m champion Billy Konchella.
