Abubaker Kaki Khamis targets for the Samsung Diamond League
Although not boasting of a very prominent background, Abubaker Kaki Khamis is an athlete of Sudanese origin who is an adept specialist in the arena of eight hundred meters. Crowned champion twice at the World Indoor Championships, and a well deserving gold winner at the All African Games held in 2007, Abubaker Kaki is an athlete who has made a prominent mark for himself in the field of running, by proving himself successful at successive major athletic tournaments.
With a personal best completion time of one hour forty two minutes and twenty three seconds in the scope of eight hundred meter racing and an equally impressive run of one thousand meters with a completion time of two hours fifteen minutes, Kaki is truly deserving of the recognition he has been showered with.
Also a representative for the country of Sudan at the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing, this young athlete has consistently continued to prove his worth to his country. Also associated with an impeccable World Junior record of one hour forty two minutes at the Bislett games held in 2008, Abubaker Kaki has never let go of an opportunity to display his athletic class, his physical stamina as well as his committed approach towards the field of athletics he perfectly specializes in.
With the Samsung Diamond League in smooth progression over the past few days, Abubaker Kaki Khamis has sighted a critical opportunity in the making for himself, and is now wishing to achieve completion of the eight hundred meter series well under the benchmark of 1 hour forty two seconds.
In a recently released statement, the Sudanese athlete has agreed that a significant reason behind pursuing this target is David Rushida’s recent performance. Rushida showcased off one hour 41 minutes, not only setting an entirely new level, but also achieving the feat of being crowned the second fastest athlete ever in the history of the event. Taking motivation from this performance, Kaki is all set to touch new heights and join the ranks of only the four men in history who have succeeded in accomplishing this goal.
Abubaker Kaki and David Rushida are slated to compete against each other under the flagship of the Samsung Diamond League in August, and Kaki has stated that it is an occasion he is clearly looking forward to, in terms of hoping for a healthy, well spirited, and competitive encounter of the two both exceptionally talented athletic personalities.
It seems that Abubaker Kaki Khamis has sought a great deal of inspiration from David Rushida’s performance. This seems to be an efficiently interesting and engaging piece of news, not only because it promises to set the foundation for a competitive display of athletics, but also because it provides one with the hope and expectations of new records being set, new targets being achieved and yet even higher ones being set for the upcoming tournaments.
Whether Abubaker Kaki Khamis will be able to achieve his dreams of being associated with a completion time of under one hour and forty two minutes is something that will only be discovered as the Samsung Diamond League progresses further, but it is certainly evident that such aspirations and thirst increase our expectations of the remaining events of this tournament.
