David Rudisha, the 2012 and 2016 Olympic champion in the 800 meters, is facing allegations of frustration from his wife Lizzy Naanyu.
On July 23, 2019, Naanyu took to her Facebook account to air their marital issues, stating, “David Lekuta Rudisha real stop frustrating me with my kids … To my family my heart is heavy I can’t hold any more. I love u all”
Naanyu's decision to go public with their problems comes after a rocky relationship in 2017, when she traveled to Nigeria to seek prayers from popular preacher TB Joshua.
Rudisha, a renowned Kenyan middle-distance runner, has won numerous accolades, including two World Championships and a world record in the 800 meters.
