800 metres at the Olympics 800 meters is one of four individual events documented exclusively by Olympic documentary filmmaker Bud Greenspan. The Olympic records are held by David Rudisha, who ran a world record of 1:40.91 minutes in 2012, and Nadezhda Olizarenko, who ran a former world record of 1:53.43 minutes in 1980.
