David Rudisha, the 800m Olympic champion and world record holder, has surprised his numerous fans on social media by revealing his less known side – police officer in uniform.

“Many are used to seeing me on running outfits, but this is the other look outside the track! Proud Police Officer. #Loveyourjob,” Rudisha stated.
The photo was an instant hit on social media with many of his wowed fans congratulating him for his achievement on the track.
Among those who commented on the photo was Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula with a tweet that read:
Amused to see “King” David Rudisha in police regalia. Is it now policy to dress our policemen in caps that are ill-fitting?
