A huge party awaits new men 800m world record holder, David Rudisha, when he returns home from Europe. Speaking on Monday from their rural home in Kilgoris a day after the 21-year-old set the new 1:41.09 all time best over two laps in Berlin, his father, Daniel Rudisha, himself a 1968 Olympics silver medallists said that plans were underway to throw a huge feast. In Kenya's capital Nairobi, Athletics Kenya (AK) officials disclosed discussions were in place among various stakeholders to ensure that Rudisha was accorded a welcome befitting his achievement upon his return. 'The whole village will be here to receive him. Since on Sunday), they have not stopped coming to our home to congratulate him. The village is planning a major ceremony to honour my son, it will be a great feast and he deserves it for making us proud,' the elder Rudisha said. 'I'm grateful that he has carried on my legacy, what I was so proud to do, that is running. He has broken the world record and that is no mean feat. I pray that he gets better and better but for now, we are very happy.' Despite the elation, the 4x400m relay silver medallist from Mexico City Summer Games of 1968 rued the fact that he did not watch his son propel himself to dizzying heights of a world record holder. 'My TV had a small problem and I suffer from arthritis and my eyesight is not that good so I do not move very far from my house and since the nearest TV was some distance away, I decided to wait to hear from neighbours.' 'Shortly after the race, they came running back to my compound to tell me the great news and since then, they are still coming and I appreciate them.' Two-time world champion, Billy Konchellah, one of the greatest 800m runners from Kenya and whose home is only 10km away from Rudisha's residence paid glowing tribute to the young exponent who lowered a 13-year 1:41.11 record. 'We still cannot believe it but it is true. People here in Kilgoris are absolutely happy Rudisha will encourage runners in this country to aim for world record and I believe he can run even faster,' the 1987 and 1991 world beater said. AK general secretary, David Okeyo, stated the federation was liaising with the government, sponsors and well wishers to accord Rudisha a roaring welcome upon his return. 'His achievement is not for AK but the country at large. We intend to receive him like the hero he is, that is at least what he deserves for this wonderful achievement. The previous record holder (Wilson Kipketer) was born here but chose to compete for another nation. Now the record is back where it rightfully belongs,' Okeyo expressed. He said AK will reward World 800m record holder with an automatic selection into the Kenyan team for the Commonwealth Games in Delhi India. Kenya will stage its national trials to select the team on Saturday, but Rudisha will not be available to compete with the rest. Okeyo confirmed that Rudisha will be among the few athletes who will enjoy the coaches' wild card. 'It is impossible for him to compete in Brussels on Friday and run in Nairobi a day later. He will be named among the others after the selection,' said Okeyo. Kenya will pick the two athletes across the line while the third will be selected by the coaches' panel. Most of the athletes who will run in Brussels will be exempted but it will depend on their consistence and performance this season to be named in the national team. With Ethiopia missing out of the Commonwealth Games, Kenya is expected to dominate the competition, which brings together all former colonies of the British. At the same time, Okeyo has congratulated Rudisha for setting a new world record in 800m race. Okeyo, said Rudisha has done well in rectifying the wrong that saw him fail to win the world championship finals in 2009 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. 'It was too much for him then as a junior athlete. But he never took his eyes off the target and on Sunday he proved too strong to claim the world title,' said Okeyo. Now, Okeyo advised, Rudisha must build on his top form and try to lower the mark down as he heads to Brussels for the Samsung Diamond League. 'It will be a strong field, though he has proved to be a strong athlete. Everyone will be worried of him and I beleive he can take it further,' said Okeyo. Rudisha, will line up against World Champion Mbulaeni Mulaudzi, Sudan's Abubaker Kaki, who is a double world indoor champion, Poland's Marcin Lewandowski, the European champion, and Jackson Kivuva in the final leg of the 14 round series. Rudisha, will be among the few athletes to enjoy wild card selection for the Commonwealth games as he will miss the trials set for Saturday in Nairobi. 'I will be coming home on Sept. 7. That is after running in Brussels, Rieti and Split City at the World Cup in Athletics,' said Rudisha. On Monday, Wilson Kipketer who is an athlete's ambassador for IAAF and is in Singapore for the Youth Olympics confirmed he had been anticipating Rudisha to break the record for some time. 'I knew he could shatter it. But the question was always when and not if. I am happy for him. He takes the record now to Africa. It has been to Europe and America before,' said Kipketer in a telephone interview. 'I didn't watch the race but I know Rudisha has been running well this year, and even last year, and I thought he could do it one day. When he ran in Belgium (in July 1:41.51) I realized that it was getting closer.' For Kipketer, the breaking of the record signifies a new frontier in the two lap race. It means the track competition is getting competitive.
