Nijel Amos the Botswana 800 meters runner and national record holder who some say has the same or even a better pedigree as a better runner in the distance over David Rudisha has always had one task to accomplish in this early going of his career and that is to become the most dominant 800 meters runner in the world and also beat current world Record holder, Kenyan; David Rudisha.

2014 is the year that Amos started that journey as not only the most dominant 800 meters runner of the year but he also consistently beat Rudisha during the Commonwealth Games and a few other meets they clashed at during the year.
