The intimate gathering, attended by close family and friends, marked a fresh chapter for the retired 800-meter world record holder.

One guest remarked, “Her dress was breathtaking, a perfect reflection of the grace and elegance of the occasion.”
The event drew notable figures from the athletics community. Among Rudisha’s best men were former Commonwealth Games champion Augustine Choge and Olympic 800-meter champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi.Celebrated athletes like Asbel Kiprop, Ezekiel Kemboi, Janeth Jepkosgei, and Japheth Kimutai also graced the occasion, celebrating Rudisha’s joyous moment.
Rudisha’s influence continues to inspire younger athletes like Emmanuel Wanyonyi, who credited him for valuable advice before winning gold and a Diamond League title last year.
“Rudisha’s wisdom on how to handle pressure in finals changed my game,” Wanyonyi shared.
After the ceremony, celebrations moved to Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi’s TimberXo Club, where family, friends, and guests danced the night away in honor of the couple.
